Gap Insurance Coverage
When you buy a new-to-you vehicle at Major World, you’ll need to have it insured before you can drive it off the lot. There are many insurance options to choose from at a Long Island City dealership or insurance company, one of them is gap insurance.
What does gap Insurance do? To put it simply, gap insurance is designed to cover the “gap” between the true cash value of your vehicle and the amount you still owe on your car loan in the event of an accident. For instance, if you owe $10,000 on your car loan, but your vehicle is only worth $6,000 at the time of your accident, gap insurance will cover the $4,000 “gap” in the cost.
Follow along with Major World as we discuss what is covered and what is not covered under a gap insurance plan.
What’s Covered Under Gap Insurance?
