Does California Casualty offer gap insurance?

I currently have an auto policy through California Casualty, and I’m getting ready to buy a new car. My lender requires me to have gap insurance to finance my new vehicle. Can I get that through CalCas, or do I have to switch providers?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
First, congratulations on your new car! You’ll be happy to hear that California Casualty insurance does offer
Guaranteed Asset Protection (gap insurance)
. This coverage will pay the difference between what you owe on your
car loan
 and the actual cash value (ACV) of your new car if it’s declared a total loss.
While it’ll certainly be convenient to add gap coverage through your current provider, keep in mind that they may not offer you the best deal. Why not take this opportunity to compare
car insurance quotes
 from a handful of companies to make sure you’ve got the best coverage at the best price?
Making sure you never overpay for your policy is just one of the many reasons experts recommend
you should shop for car insurance every six months
.
