No because GAP covers any GAP between what you owe on the car and the cars actual market value if the should your loan balance happen to exceed what your car is actually worth. If you owe $16,000 on a car but you owe 18,000, GAP would kick in and pay the remaining 2,000. You would still end up with zero dollars, but you also don't have to worry about paying off a loan on a car you no longer own.

Can your employer ask for your vehicle insurance to drive their vehicle?

Your personal auto coverage will not cover their vehicles. What they are probably asking for is to make sure you have coverage in case you drive your vehicle on errands or such for the company. If you go to the post office to get the company mail your personal auto insurance will be the primary insurance and then if they have an endorsement to their insurance called "hired and non-owned auto" it will provide secondary coverage over and above your coverage to protect them in case of an accident. Their coverage insists that you as the employee have primary insurance on your vehicle. Also note that the company insurance will not pay for damage to your vehicle.

Does having full coverage auto insurance in MI mean if my car is totaled and I wasn't at fault the car will be paid off?

Firstly, there is no such thing as full coverage auto insurance. This is just a term that developed over time to mean whether or not you wanted physical damage coverage on your vehicle or not. Secondly, if you have physical damage coverage this has nothing to do with what you owe on your vehicle. the physical damage section of an auto policy says that the insurance company has the option to repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of your vehicle. I suggest if you purchase a new vehicle to consult your agent about GAP coverage which will pay the difference between the ACV of your vehicle and the amount owed. Never purchase this from the dealer and it will cost you several times what you can get it from your insurance company for.
