To help you have the best car-buying process possible, we want to cover the
topic of gap insurance. When you buy a new
car, there are several types of coverage you’ll need to consider--whether you
go through us, the dealer, or a third party.
Gap insurance, also known as guaranteed asset protection, is a type of
insurance you may want to consider purchasing in conjunction with collision
coverage or comprehensive insurance. Gap insurance isn’t necessary for everyone
but can prove extremely useful if you buy a new model. That’s because it covers
the difference you would owe if your car were totaled.
To break it down, collision insurance only covers the cost of damage to your
car or the depreciated value. However, if your car is totaled, your insurance
won’t cover the cost you still owe your lender, and that’s where gap insurance
comes into play.
While the money gap insurance covers goes to your lender since they still own
your car, it means that you’re not paying out of pocket. That’s especially useful
when your car is totaled as you’ll be without a vehicle.
How do you know if gap insurance is right for you? We can help here at Hall
Honda Virginia Beach. Generally speaking, gap insurance is worth a look if you
loan or lease a vehicle and still owe more than your car is worth. We’re happy
to help you better understand your insurance options here at your Virginia Beach Honda dealership.
