So What Is Gap Insurance and Why Do I Need It?

When the damage to a vehicle from an auto collision (leased or financed) is extensive enough to be declared a total loss, the amount of money still owed on the vehicle may be more than what an insurance company reimburses or pays out to a customer. Gap Insurance, also known as “loan coverage” or “lease coverage”, is coverage that helps pay the remainder of the loan or lease still left on the vehicle if the vehicle becomes a total loss.

Who should get Gap Insurance?
You should consider Gap Insurance if you are financing the purchase of a vehicle via a loan or leasing a vehicle rather than purchasing it outright.
