Under Kentucky Insurance Code, Kentucky consumers who pay off auto loans early are entitled to pro-rata refunds on unused GAP insurance and warranty coverage. You're entitled to a pro-rata refund based on unused coverage time.
GAP coverage is often refundable after an early payoff, refinance, or total loss — but the contract, state law, and unused coverage determine the amount.
