This is interesting - so who actually does the valuation on the car's worth and do they all agree on it? So if insurance company does valuation x, but GAP people reckon it's y, and the finance company reckon it was z - are we essentially stuck between 3 very hard places trying to squeeze through?

You'd hope, given everything is covered - driving insurance, gap insurance, finance - they'd just talk to eachother and figure it all out.
