Customer Insurance GAP
Insurance
GAP Insurance gives essential protection if your car is
written off or stolen. It provides cover for any shortfall
received from your motor insurer and the amount required
to settle your finance agreement (up to the policy maximum).
Features and benefits - If, while this policy
is in force, your vehicle is written off due to accident,
fire or theft, the policy will pay the difference between
the early settlement figure on your finance agreement
and the sum received from your motor insurer under your
motor insurance policy and subject to certain conditions
being met. The maximum benefit is £10,000.
VRP - Vehicle Replacement
Protector
In the event of a total loss,‘Vehicle Replacement
Protector’ will cover the difference between your
insurer’s settlement and the original cost of your
vehicle up to the total level of cover chosen by you and
detailed on your policy schedule. This cover is available
for up to 3 years and includes any excess your motor insurers
may apply to their claim (up to £250).
Vehicle Eligibility - Any vehicle registered and
principally used in the UK, having a maximum purchase
price (including factory fitted accessories but not dealer
fitted accessories and VAT where applicable) of £25,000,
which is less than 7 years old at the date of the policy
commencement. The vehicle must be covered by fully Comprehensive
Motor Insurance.
Why buy VRP/GAP?
How often do you hear of people who have their vehicle
written off only to find that the ‘Market Value’
offered by their Insurer is not enough to replace the
vehicle with a similar one or pay off any outstanding
finance? Taking out a VRP/GAP policy will avoid this.
- Every 2 minutes a vehicle is stolen
- 60% of vehicles stolen in the UK are either never
recovered or are damaged and written-off
| FACT - In 2004 over
750,000 vehicles were stolen or involved in an accident
and then written off as total losses by insurance
companies. |
