Does Root offer gap insurance?
I have Root car insurance and want to lease a new vehicle. Will I be able to add gap insurance to my policy?

Unfortunately, Root doesn’t offer
gap insurance
at this time—but that doesn’t mean you need to cancel your Root policy in order to get it. When it comes to gap insurance, you have several options. Perhaps the easiest way to purchase this coverage is straight through your dealership. This way, you can simply add the coverage when you’re working with your dealership’s financial office without any hassle.
The bank or credit union through which you finance your loan may also provide convenient gap insurance policies.
The downside to either? Gap coverage at your dealership tends to be more expensive, especially since the cost of said insurance will be rolled into your monthly payments, so you’ll be paying interest on it.
Finally, you may be able to purchase standalone gap insurance policies. Popular insurance providers that offer gap insurance include
Allstate
, Nationwide
, and Travelers
