Car GAP Insurance

Get protection against any financial shortfall in your insurance pay out in the event of an accident or criminal damage. GAP Insurance pays the difference between your insurer's settlement figure and the amount of you original vehicle costs.

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.

  • GAP Insurance covers financial shortfall for up to 5 years as standard
  • £250 contribution towards your motor insurance excess
  • Covers dealer fitted accessories that appear on a manufacturers price list
  • Covers anyone who is fully comprehensively insured
  • Contract Hire & Lease GAP will contribute toward initial rentals of up to £2,000

GAP Insurance is provided by our partner Premia Solutions, a trusted insurance product and service provider in the UK automotive industry.

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).
