What is Gap Insurance?
Many drivers have never heard of gap insurance, but it can be a good investment in case the worst happens. Many car loan terms in recent years extend as long as six years, which can be nice for people who want lower monthly payments. However, this extended period of time not having your car fully paid off can increase your risk of ending up an accident that totals your car before you actually own it outright. Due to depreciation, some drivers often owe more on their cars than it’s even worth, which can be a very stressful position to be in if an accident totals their cat. Not only is that driver in need of a new car, but they still are responsible for paying off their car that was totaled.
Gap insurance is a policy that covers much of the remaining cost of the car in the event your car is totaled. This can take a massive amount of stress off your shoulders in an already stressful situation. If you have a loan term that will have you making payments for a while, gap insurance could be a worthwhile investment. The policies are relatively inexpensive and can be very handy when needed.
