Car and Van

Many people are opting out of company car schemes. The new tax regime means you can be much better off financially and have the flexibility to choose your own car. It can, however, be risky. What if you need to sell your car and terminate the agreement for some reason?

Because cars tend to depreciate quickly in the first year, then more slowly as they get older, there is a risk that you will owe more to the finance company to settle the agreement than the car is worth. In other words, there is a "GAP".

For example, what if you were made redundant or lose your driving licence due to ill health? Alternatively, what if your car is involved in an accident and written off, or is stolen?

Fortunately, we can soften the blow with Early Termination Insurance. It pays out to cover the shortfall, up to a maximum of £5,000, if you have to terminate your finance agreement due to:

  • being made redundant
  • losing your driving licence on medical grounds
  • your death
  • the car is involved in an accident and written off
  • the car is stolen and not recovered

Eligibility

  • Applicable to employees only
  • Maximum agreement term is four years
  • Applies only to PCP and PCH agreements
  • No maximum invoice price

Major Exclusions

  • Redundancy in the first six months
  • Self-employed, or employees on a time- or project-limited basis
  • Dismissal
  • Failure to complete a probationary period
  • Excess mileage charges or finance arrears
  • The vehicle is written off whilst being driven illegally and/or under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Vehicle is not covered by a comprehensive motor insurance policy
