Replying to: joel0622 (Jan 21, 2008 5:53 am) Maybe I did not understand the question, or for that matter your response - lol   So, I will try to respond differently. If a bank gives you a car loan for $33k and the car is destroyed, but it is only worth $25k and you have GAP, they will pay-off the entire loan.

Replying to: tedebear (Jan 21, 2008 11:55 am) Hi   I am so sorry to bother you but I need to find out if you have the phone number for Safeco? Do you have to have a policy with them or can you just have them for GAP?   Thanks for your help. I am really appreciative.

Replying to: nkmonty1 (Jan 22, 2008 6:06 am) You have to have a policy with Safeco for them to give you gap on your vehicle. Replies to this message: nkmonty1 (Jan 22, 2008 6:43 am) tedebear (Jan 22, 2008 8:18 am)

Replying to: jagar100 (Jan 22, 2008 6:16 am) Hi   Oh I C. How are the rates? I might as well call them because my insurance company does not carry GAP. Do you have Safeco's phone number? Thanks again for your time Nan Replies to this message: tedebear (Jan 22, 2008 8:18 am)

Replying to: nkmonty1 (Jan 22, 2008 6:43 am) Do you have Safeco's phone number?   Safeco is a national insurance company, easily found by doing a Google search. Try their website for an office near you at www.safeco.com.   As far as their rates, they were less expensive for me than when I had State Farm but not quite as low as Geico. However, Geico doesn't offer GAP but now I don't need that coverage.
#341 of 440 Safeco by nkmonty1 Jan 22, 2008 (9:16 am)
Hi   I have GEICO and even though they are cheap they do not offer the GAP insurance for a vehicle that was preowned. So as much as I like them I do have to find a company that has GAP.   Right now I dont need GAP, but you never know what every day will be. Thanks for your information.

Replying to: nkmonty1 (Jan 22, 2008 9:16 am) Yes, I said that Geico doesn't offer GAP. That's why I mentioned Safeco and listed their website so you can find the phone number of a Safeco agent near you.   Safeco saved me over $600/yr from what I was paying with State Farm. Geico now saves me even more than Safeco. With my huge discount off the MSRP and trade-in, I'm easily below the point in my loan where GAP could be of any use.
#343 of 440 All GAP does is encourage Torching by andres3 Jan 22, 2008 (8:57 pm)
your own vehicle. Sometimes, financially, torching and burning your vehicle is the best option (at least financially) because you wasted money on GAP and perhaps purchased something that depreciates like a rock and paid too much for it in the first place. I think GAP encourages and tempts people to torch their own vehicles and commit insurance fraud. Replies to this message: joel0622 (Jan 23, 2008 8:29 am)
