Is gap insurance required in Oklahoma?

I just moved to Tulsa and I’m in the middle of shopping for a new car. I’m going to need a loan, but I’ve already budgeted for that. That said, more than one lender has asked me about gap insurance. I’m not sure if I need it. Does Oklahoma legally require gap insurance?

Congrats on the move to
Tulsa
! It’s a great town and you’re sure to appreciate its small-city vibe. While
gap insurance
isn’t required in
Oklahoma
, it might be a good investment if you meet one of these guidelines:
  • You got a loan of more than 60 months.
  • You made a down payment of less than 20%.
  • You purchased a vehicle that doesn’t hold its resale value all that well.
While you don’t need to have gap insurance, your lender will require you to carry
full coverage car insurance
. It’s expensive at first glance, but you can always use the
