The Role of Gap Insurance in Your Refinance Strategy
The Role of Gap Insurance in Your Refinance Strategy
Gap insurance plays a critical role in your car loan refinancing strategy, especially if you owe more on your loan than your car is worth. This insurance covers the “gap” between the vehicle’s value and the amount you owe, protecting you financially in case of total loss or theft. When refinancing, consider the loan-to-value ratio and whether gap insurance is a prudent addition to your new loan. It can be a safety net, ensuring that refinancing doesn’t leave you financially vulnerable in the event of an unforeseen loss.
