How do you get gap insurance on a used car?
Is there an easy way to get gap insurance for a used car? I'm buying a car soon, and I’m a bit confused about whether or not I need gap insurance and how to get it.

“To get gap insurance, a car can’t be more than a few years old. Some companies won’t offer
gap insurance
to any used car buyers at all.That being said, there are two ways to buy gap insurance if you qualify:
- You can sometimes purchase gap insurance directly from your lender as part of your loan. But keep in mind that your lender will likely charge interest on your premium.
- You can also purchase gap insurance from your insurer—if they offer it. However, many providers do not. Contact your insurance company to find out if it’s an option.
