The risk is real - what will Gap Insurance do for you?
What is a write off?
A write off can be an unrecovered theft of vehicle, or damage cause by accident, theft, fire or floods to a level that makes it uneconomical to repair. In both cases, the motor insurer will 'write the vehicle off' and pay you the value of the vehicle at the time of the write off. This may not be enough to replace your vehicle or clear your outstanding finance.
What are the write off risks?
Insurance statistics show that over 400,000 vehicles are written off every year. That equates to one vehicle every 90 seconds, night and day, 365 days a year. Suffering a write off can have devastating financial and inconvenience implications for motorists, leaving most with either a loss or debt and if financed, sometimes both.
How can a write off affect me?
If you paid cash for your car, you're likely to receive a lot less for it than you originally paid and as such, you'll suffer an unexpected loss. If you financed or leased your car, your insurer may not pay enough to clear your debt or provide sufficient funds for another deposit.
How does Gap Cover help?
If you paid cash for your car, Gap Insurance will top up your motor insurers payout - back to the price you originally paid for it. If you financed or leased, your debt will be paid and there may be sufficient remaining to receive a surplus to use as a deposit for your next vehicle.
Who can buy Advanced Gap Insurance and when?
When you can buy
