| Shortfall protection (often called GAP) |
Don’t get left short changed if your car is written off
Why is a shortfall protection insurance policy so important?
Because standard comprehensive and collision policies only cover your
new car's "fair market value". And that can be as little as 60% of what
you paid for your car, starting the minute you drive it.
This means that if you're involved in an accident that leaves your new
car written off, (we all hope this never happens,) you could end up
paying off a loan on a car that you can't even drive.
That's where gap insurance comes in.
A gap car insurance policy insures you for the difference between what
you owe on your car and what your insurance company says it's worth.
And if you're leasing your car, it's very likely the leasing company will require gap insurance as well.
Gap insurance coverage would also become critical should your car
(knock on wood) be stolen. Thieves prefer new cars (who doesn't), and
they seek out specific models, which also usually happen to be the most
popular models of cars sold.
If your car is stolen, the insurance situation is the same as in the
case of an at-fault accident on your part: comprehensive insurance will
cover the value of the vehicle, but not necessarily the value of the
loan that you owe to the bank. You could be stuck paying thousands for
a car that's long gone. Add that to the truly disheartening feeling of
having your car stolen, and that makes for a really rough time. |
