Auto Loan Rates
We offer superior auto loan rates for our members. Reach out today to learn how we can help you meet your goals.
Auto Insurance Doesn’t Cover Everything
A major accident can leave you owing more on your loan than your insurance covers, but Guaranteed Asset Protection Plus (GAP Plus) can help. If your vehicle is deemed a total loss due to an accident or theft, GAP Plus may reduce or even eliminate the gap between what you owe and what insurance pays out. This protects you from significant shortfalls.
The TLC Your Vehicle Needs to go the Extra Miles
Mileage can add up quickly, but the repair costs don’t have to. EXCEL has partnered with CU Certified Automotive to provide extended warranties as a more affordable option than more costly dealership warranties.
