Frequently Asked Questions

What is gap insurance?

Gap insurance covers the 'gap' between what you owe on your auto loan and what your car is actually worth if it's totaled or stolen, since cars often depreciate faster than loans are paid down.

How is actual cash value determined?

Actual cash value (ACV) is typically determined by your primary insurer based on comparable vehicle sales, mileage, and condition at the time of loss.

Does gap insurance cover my deductible?

Standard gap insurance usually does not cover your deductible, though some policies offer deductible reimbursement as an add-on.
