What is GAP Insurance

Have you been told you need it, but what is GAP Insurance?

GAP Insurance, also known as Guaranteed Asset Protection, covers the difference between what you paid for your vehicle and what your insurer pays out if it’s written off or stolen.

You Purchase a Vehicle

Whether you buy outright, finance, or lease, GAP Insurance protects your investment from day one.

Vehicle is Written Off

A total loss occurs if your car is stolen or damaged beyond repair.

Insurer Pays the Current Value

Your standard insurer pays the car’s value at the time of loss, which is often lower than what you originally paid.

We Pay the Difference

GAP Insurance Today covers the shortfall between your original purchase price and your insurer’s payout.

GAP Insurance (Guaranteed Asset Protection)

Covers the difference between your insurer’s payout and the remaining cost on your finance or lease agreement.

RTI Insurance (Return To Invoice)

Covers the difference between your insurer’s payout and the original invoice price you paid for the vehicle.

Example GAP Insurance

If you buy a car for £10,000, you might only get back £6,000 from your insurers after a write off a few years later. GAP Insurance covers you for the difference of £4,000 between the insurer’s value and the purchase price.

As soon as you drive your vehicle off the forecort of a dealership, it depreciates in value.

When your vehicle is written off, the insurance will pay out the value of the vehicle at the time of the claim. This will always be less than what you originally paid when purchasing it.

GAP Insurance will help prevent you from further financial loss by paying the difference between what the insurer pays you at the time of a claim, and how much you originally paid for it. This is the case if you paid for your vehicle with cash or finance, or if it is a lease vehicle.
