financing/lease/rent gap insurance contract
what is finance/lease/contract rent gap insurance?
If your vehicle is financially irreparably damaged, written off or, as your insurer would say, ‘declared a total loss,’ financing/lease/rental gap insurance will pay the difference between your insurer’s payment and any outstanding financing .
why do I need it?
If your vehicle is declared a total loss, your insurer will pay you its value at the time of the accident. this is the used value and will not be the price you paid for the car when it was new.
If this amount is not enough to pay off the outstanding vehicle financing, you will need to cover the difference with your own funds. financing/lease/rental gap insurance will cover that shortfall between your insurer’s offer and the pending financial settlement payment.
