Why Would you need GAP Insurance?
When you buy a new car it begins to depreciate and lose value from the minute you drive it off the forecourt.
If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident, crash, or have your vehicle stolen, and your vehicle is written-off by the insurer, you may only receive the price the vehicle was worth at the time of the incident, not the amount you need to get an equivalent replacement.
The Risk
With more than 50,000 vehicles written-off annually, and more than 100,000 stolen, many people protect themselves financially with GAP Insurance on their new vehicle. GAP is designed to bridge the gap between the amount you receive from your motor insurance and the original amount you paid for the vehicle.
Example
If today you bought a new vehicle for £15,000, within 3 years that vehicle will be worth roughly 40% of its original value*.
If the vehicle is involved in an accident or stolen and declared written-off in its third year, your insurer could value it at as little as £6000. Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Insurance pays the difference, meaning a payment of £9000 straight to you on top of your motor insurance settlement, giving you enough cash to purchase a new equivalent vehicle and get back on the road.
