In any case you get your money don't you? If the insurance company paid the principal of your loan than that means you don't have to so the money you would have paid is now yours...just as if the insurance company had cut you a check. Remember, until the loan is paid off the lender's claim to the property is superior than yours. If you are not going to use the money to repair the damage, the lender will want the loan principal reduced by a proportial amount. The most usual arrangement is that the bank will hold the insurance payment in an account for you and use it to pay the contractor after the repairs have been completed.

How Surety can be compared to insurance policy?

Both insurance and surety provide protection against financial loss. Insurance anticipates losses and charges a premium with that in mind where surety companies expect no loss and the premium charged is a 'service fee'. Surety bonds involve three-parties the surety company, principal and obligee. Insurance involves two-parties the insurance company and the insured. With insurance the risk is transferred to the insurance company where as with surety the risk remains with the principal. The surety is providing a guarantee against loss by agreeing to be responsible for the obligation of the principal.


What happens if your car is totaled and you are paid up on your insurance but not on your car loan will it be repossessed?

The insurance company would not be interested in repossessing a car that has been completely demolished. The insurance company will pay over any damages to the loan company since it has a lien on the car. You would receive any amount remaining after payment of the car loan. On the other hand, you will be responsible for any remaining balance owed on the car loan. That is why "gap insurance" is important for a financed car. Gap insurance pays when the amount of compensation received from a total loss does not fully cover the amount the insured owes on the vehicle's financing.
