Gap insurance
Let's say you took out a five-year loan last year to buy a new car. Naturally, you insured your car at around the same time. If your car is stolen tomorrow and not recovered, or is damaged beyond repair, the amount your insurance company pays may be insufficient to pay off your auto loan. You'll be left holding the bag. Cash may be especially tight if you must buy another car to replace the one stolen or damaged. For these reasons, you should consider buying guaranteed auto protection (GAP) insurance when you buy or lease a new car.
