That's why they call it GAP insurance. It pays the difference between what you owe on the vehicle and what the miserly insurance companies will pay in the event of a total loss through accident or theft. NOW, shop around for it. Don't let the car dealer sell it to you when you buy your next vehicle. He'll sell it to you for $700 to $1500 or more. Bought a new truck 3 weeks ago from Ford. To get ALL the rebates, I had to finance thru FMCC at like 7%. TWO days after I bought the truck, I refinanced the truck thru USAA bank at 3.9%, saving myself $1800 in interest and got GAP insurance for FREE, included in the refi, saving another $500 over what the dealer was going to sell it to me for. The first truck payment isn't due until TWO months later. People be smart. Shop around for the best deal, do your homework before you buy, it'll save you thousands of dollars. I contacted Ford dealers from Austin to Laredo.
