How much is a monthly premium on gap insurance?

How much will gap insurance increase my monthly premium? I just bought a new car and I'm shopping around for rates. I also want to add gap insurance.

“Since you bought a new car, you’ll need full coverage car insurance per the stipulations of your loan, so be sure to factor that into your budget.
As far as
gap insurance
, the rate will vary depend on which car insurance company you go with.
You could reasonably expect to pay about $5 to $20 a month for gap insurance.
Remember that you won’t need it for the life of the loan, only until your loan balance breaks even with the value of the car—maybe a few years.
