What is GAP protection? In the event of an accident, GAP insurance will pay to cover the difference between what you paid for the vehicle and what is still owed on the vehicle when the accident occurs. But that’s not all this covers.While it doesn’t cover bodily injuries, mechanical repairs, or your deductible, here is a list of things that will be covered when you purchase GAP insurance:
Having this type of coverage comes in handy when regular insurance won’t cover all of these unexpected inconveniences. You never know when you’re going to need it, so it’s better to be prepared with GAP insurance when buying a car.
Absolutely! Having GAP insurance is a good idea if you are purchasing a new car with a car loan because it protects your vehicle investment when something out of the ordinary occurs, like the theft of your vehicle. And since your vehicle depreciates the second you drive off the lot, this insurance will cover the “GAP” between the worth of your vehicle and what your insurance will cover if you get into an accident.
If you are purchasing an older model vehicle or a used car, GAP insurance is something you may want to look further into before purchasing. Research depreciation rates for that particular year, model, and the condition of your vehicle before deciding if it’s worth it.
You can get GAP insurance through your auto insurer whether that’s through your dealership of choice or a business that deals explicitly with auto coverage. If you decide to get covered, it’ll cost as little as $20 a year plus the one-time fee at the time of purchase.
