===Money and heists===
Completing jobs earns the player money, which can be spent on customizing their character's appearance, weapons and vehicles. More options become accessible as the storyline advances and as cash is acquired. Players can also spend money on a customizable apartment for their character, and a garage in which they can store and customize up to 10 vehicles. Banks and stores throughout the world can be robbed by the player. Teaming up with others makes pulling off the heists easier; however, there is a chance that a member of the team may run off with the take, making trust a vital part in planning. During a heist, Grand Theft Auto Online uses a voice recognition system. If one or more players yell commands at the bank staff such as "faster!", the moneybag will be filled faster than usual, allowing for a quicker getaway. Money earned during gameplay is not safe unless deposited into the player character's bank account. If killed, any loose money will be dropped and can be taken by others. Players can insure their vehicles so that if they are destroyed, lost or stolen, they are replaced for a fee. The cost of insurance depends on the the vehicle's class, which in turn is determined by its performance and modifications.
