Best Answer

In most cases, insurance companies are only required to pay up to the book value of your car. What this means is that if you owe $15,000 on a car loan and the car is only worth $12,000, you will still be held responsible for the remaining balance which in this case would be $3,000. This is also known as being upside down. If you purchase GAP, a.k.a a debt cancellation contract, then you would not be held liable for the remaining $3,000. This is why it pays to purchase a car that has good residual value meaning it shouldn't depreciate much faster than you are able to pay off your loan.
