What is RTI & Finance GAP Insurance?
If your vehicle is stolen or written off as a result of an accident, fire or theft, most insurers will only pay market value for your vehicle even if the claim was no fault of your own. Depending on the age and mileage of your vehicle at the time of loss, the market value may be substantially less than the price that you paid for it originally.
Our combined Return to Invoice and Finance GAP insurance will pay the difference between your motor insurer’s settlement figure and the amount you originally paid for your vehicle in the unfortunate event that your vehicle is declared a total loss. And if the amount required to settle the finance agreement is greater than the original invoice price, we will cover the higher figure, meaning you won’t be paying for a vehicle you no longer use.
Combination GAP (RTI) Cover for New and Used Cars
This pays the difference between your motor insurance settlement (or Glass's Guide retail value whichever is the greater) and the net invoice price you paid for the vehicle.
Combination GAP (RTI) Cover provides you with financial protection for periods from 12 months up to a maximum period of 48 months depending on the level of cover you have purchased.
- Cover will cease if you sell your vehicle or have a claim paid.
- Claim limit is a maximum of £25,000.
An example of how it works
- You buy a new vehicle costing £12,500.
- Your vehicle is stolen or written-off.
- Your insurance only pays £7,500, not the full £12,500.
- You could be £5,000 out of pocket!
- What happens without Combination GAP (RTI) Cover? GAP will cover the difference between the vehicle cost and the insurance pay-out (see below).
