What is GAP insurance?
A. In the event your vehicle becomes a total loss due to an accident or theft during the term of your lease period, GAP insurance covers the difference or gap between what your insurance company will pay and what you owe on the lease. At Bearcat, we include GAP insurance in every closed-end lease.
GAP insurance covers the difference between the actual cash value of a vehicle and the balance still owed on the financing (car loan, lease, etc.). GAP coverage is mainly used on new and used small vehicles (cars and trucks) and heavy trucks. Some financing companies require it.
