Gap Insurance will pay the difference between the vehicle value and the loan pay off amount. For instance : you car is valued at $17,000 but the loan amount on the car is $20,000 - if your car is totaled your basic car insurance will only pay up to the car's value. A GAP Policy will pick up the $3,000 difference. Therefore you aren't making payments on a vehicle that is at a total loss. IMO- is a must have!

It depends. If you paid it all upfront in cash for the life of the loan and you trade the car in early you might be entitled to a small refund. If the gap insurance is included in the car payment then no. There is no refund at that time, because you are paying only for what you use.
Is it possible to have your name on your parents insurance policy if the car loan and the registration are in your name?
This is not a good idea. You need your own insurance policy. There are coverages you do not have by being on your parents policy. You want to be a "named insured". This means that you control the policy and not your parents. If you want to loan your car to anyone you can, if you are on your parents policy you cannot do this. Also if you need to rent a car, you are not covered under your parents policy to do this. You would be under your own policy. Contact your insurance agent for a better explanation.

What if your car repossessed with gap insurance?
The gap insurance is part of your auto loan so I am not sure what your question is. Gap insurance covers your car if you total it and the fair market value for your car is below what you owe. If your car gets reposessed, you still owe the lender. Actually, the cost of the gap insurance is rolled into the loan - it's not part of the loan. If you can find your original paperwork from when you bought your car, find the information on the company that issued the gap insurance policy, and then call them and tell them you no longer own the car, and see if you can get a partial refund on the premium! Can't hurt to try, right? I do vehicle refinances, and our auto loan contract includes the gap insurance (although we call it something else) for free, so I have helped several people cancel their gap coverage, although we usually do it pretty early in the loan. Same with credit disability insurance, if you have it.

Can you claim on gap insurance even if you are not short?
The purpose of gap insurance on an automobile loan is to pay off the portion of the loan that wasn't paid by your auto insurance company. If you the insurance company pays off the entire loan, there isn't a trigger to activate the gap policy and there isn't an amount to pay since it only pays the difference. Example: You buy a brand new car for $20,000. You drive off the lot and now the car is worth $17,000. If you have a covered loss and it is determined that the auto is totaled, the insurance company pays to the loss payee (loan company/lien holder) $17,000 because that is what the car is worth now. The gap policy would pay the additional $3,000 and pay off the loan. If you didn't have gap insurance, you would stay have to pay off the $3,000 even if the car was totaled out.
