GAP insurance is designed to provide protection in the event that your vehicle is declared a total loss (written off) by your motor insurer. Should this happen, the finance company would issue a settlement figure based on the balance left to pay on the agreement.

Your motor insurer's payout, however, would be based on the vehicle's market value. This may not cover the settlement figure, potentially leaving you with a shortfall.GAP insurance will cover any such shortfall, up to a maximum of £5,000, helping to reduce the financial impact of having your vehicle written off.

Eligible Vehicles

  • Vehicles with an invoice price up to £75,000
  • Cars and commercial vehicles up to 3.5t GVW
  • Vehicles up to six years old
  • Cover is valid for the duration of the finance agreement, up to a maximum term of five years

Major Exclusions

  • The vehicle is written off whilst being driven illegally and/or under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • The vehicle is not covered by a comprehensive motor insurance policy
  • The vehicle is used for hire or reward
  • If the vehicle is left unattended and the keys have not been removed, the doors have not been locked, or any immobiliser and/or alarm has not been activated
