Finance GAP Insurance
    (summary)
   

View printable versionWhy do I need Finance GAP Insurance?

It is a sad fact that vehicle related crime represents a significant percentage of all reported crime in the UK. How often have You heard of people who have had their vehicle stolen or written off and have not been able to replace their vehicle with another of a similar value?

This is because at the time of loss You will only be entitled to receive the current market value of Your Vehicle from Your insurance company, not what You paid for it.

How Finance GAP Insurance cover helps You.
In the event of a Total Loss happening within the Geographical Area and occurring within the Period of Insurance, the Insurer will pay an amount equal to the difference between the Market Value of Your Vehicle at the Point of Total Loss and outstanding Finance Balance relating strictly to the purchase of Your Vehicle, less any arrears, rebates or refunds for creditor insurance.
