If you’re buying a new car this summer, protect yourself against financial shortfall with Guaranteed Asset Protection insurance.
What is Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) insurance?
It's well known that from the moment you drive your new car off the garage forecourt, it will start to lose value. Should you be unfortunate to have your car stolen or written off in an accident, the insurer will only settle the claim on the basis of the vehicle’s 'market value'.
This means that there's likely to be a shortfall between what you paid for the car (or, what you may have left to pay on any finance deal) and what you receive from the insurer. GAP insurance covers this difference.
Often GAP insurance is ignored on the assumption that the cost outweighs any perceived benefit. However, unlike a lot of showrooms and garages, we don’t overload the premium with high commission earnings, enabling us to provide this valuable insurance at an affordable price.
Here are some examples:
Car value | Our GAP price when car is purchased by cash payment | Our GAP price when car is purchased by Finance/Credit |
£15,000 | £188.80 | £192.00 |
£25,000 | £228.80 | £230.40 |
£50,000 | £315.20 | £316.80 |
All prices above include Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) and are indicative only. There are different options available depending on how you purchase your car.
