Gap insurance for a sports car

My son is leasing quite an expensive sports car for 12 months. Should he consider what I believe is called Gap Insurance in the event of a serious accident or write off, bearing in mind he doesn't actually own the car?

If so, where should he go to obtain such cover?

Good idea, burt best bought via a broker rather than a car dealer because they charge less commission.

Can you recommend a good GAP insurance supplier?
We are picking up a brand new car, do you recommend GAP insurance? We had it from ALA with the car we are selling.
