If you pay a vehicle loan off in full early, you may be entitled to a refund of the unused portion of your gap insurance. Some states require insurers to refund the premiums if, for example, a 36-month loan with gap coverage for 36 months is paid off in 24 months. In some cases, an insurer may not let you know if you are due a refund. Make sure to keep your payoff letter, the original contract or insurance information and an odometer disclosure statement. It is important to know an insurer’s refund policy before buying gap insurance. It could be helpful to contact your state commerce department or insurance commissioner’s office to learn about your state’s regulations beforehand or what to do if your insurer refuses to issue a refund.
