Gap insurance can be a valuable safety net when you have a car loan. It is a type of insurance that you can purchase in addition to collision insurance when you buy a new or used car. It can come in handy if your car is stolen or totaled from a wreck. Gap insurance pays the difference between what you owe on a car and what it was worth. If you're in a wreck and your car is totaled, your collision insurance would pay the value of the car to the loan company minus any deductible. If you have gap insurance, it will pay the rest of the amount you owe not counting the deductible. You will still be responsible for that but nothing more. Some insurances will even pay an additional amount, usually $1,000, as a down payment on a replacement vehicle. The benefit for you is that you don't have to roll over your current loan into a new loan, making you owe more than a new car is worth. This will help you be able to pay off the next car faster and with lower payments. You can often add gap insurance into your loan if you can't afford to buy it at the time of purchase. This can be helpful if you don't have the cash, but it will raise the price of the insurance because you will now be paying interest on it. If you know you will be buying a car in the near future, you should start saving for gap insurance if you plan to buy it. Buying gap insurance isn't a smart choice if you plan to make a large down payment or pay off the loan in a short amount of time. It won't pay out if you owe less than the value of the car. You can buy gap insurance from either the dealer or from a car insurance company. If you buy it from your collision insurance company, it may only pay out if the incident is covered by the collision insurance. It's important to review the policy before you purchase it so you know what is covered and what isn't. Many of the gap insurances won't pay for other purchases you added into the loan such as extended warranties. Gap insurance can be beneficial but it can be a waste of money so it pays to understand how it works and make and informed decision.
