GAP Insurance
GAP Insurance is insurance against a shortfall that may occur in the event that your vehicle is stolen or written off, and your Comprehensive Motor Vehicle Insurance payout does not cover the loan balance outstanding on your finance agreement.
This could potentially leave you with a shortfall of thousands of dollars.
A shortfall may occur when you include purchase related expenses such as stamp duty, registration, dealer delivery or comprehensive insurance cover in the loan which do not add to the vehicles value. Or, it may occur when the vehicles value falls faster than the loan balance due to the combined effect of accrued interest and the vehicle depreciating.
