Gap Auto Insurance Columbus Ohio OH

Reader’s Question:

I am in the process of getting a leased car. The agent in Columbus, Ohio is offering gap insurance and I barely know anything about it. Shall I take it?

Ruth

Columbus, OH

Hi Ruth. Personally I like the whole kit and caboodle of gap insurance. For most of us car owners who do not have the extra cash always, gap insurance could come handy, especially when what we have is a long-term lease, like, let’s say, five years.

Gap insurance bridges the difference between what the insurer assesses your car to be worth and the remaining balance of your loan at the time of the loss or accident. It’s literally that–filling in the void that we, as a matter of fact, often overlook. For example, your 18-month-old car which you bought for 18,000 gets stolen. You still have an outstanding loan balance of 13,000, and based on depreciation rates, the insurance company’s assessment of your car is only 12,000, then there is that difference of 1,000 that you will have to take out of your own pocket.

That difference is what the gap insurance covers. Most auto dealers and insurance companies in Columbus, Ohio, offer gap insurance. So, it should be easy for you to review them first and to choose the best deal. And contrary to what others might think, gap insurance is actually very affordable. I’d get one in a heartbeat.

Auto insurance with no down payment

Reader question:

Can I purchase auto insurance with no down payment?

Greg

Sure, Greg.

If you speak to an auto insurance agent, they can usually locate a company for you that offers auto insurance with no down payment. These companies are everywhere and aren’t too hard to find, and they allow you to pay your first payment first, but pay an equal payment to that every month, rather than paying a high percentage of your 6 month or yearly premium up front.

So, yeah, auto insurance with no down payment is available. But is it a good idea?

Honestly, you would do better for yourself to avoid guarantees like auto insurance with no down payment, because although they may do something to save you money in the short term, they cost you more in the long term. No down payment means higher monthly premiums and less constant disposable income for you. No down payment also means that you will pay in installment, which has its own fee.

take care,

Fashun.

Do I need an instant car insurance rate comparison?

Good question.

What is the difference between hiring a car insurance agent and getting an instant car insurance rate comparison? Well, the instant car insurance rate comparison is free, for one. Now that these are available online, agents are practically obsolete.

You can both research, get quotes for, and purchase your auto insurance online, and you can do it in less time than you would have spent at the agent’s office, which is one of its big draws.

Even so, sometimes agents are useful. If you just don’t have enough time to sacrifice to getting an instant car insurance rate comparison, checking complaint records, recommendations, and financial stability, then an agent can do all of that for you. So then it’s up to you to decide on the agent.

You’re going to want an independent agent. These agents can look for quotes and compare among several different companies and help you decide. On the other hand, a captive agent work for a single company.
