Details

A-Rated Insurer?

ALL named drivers on your motor insurance policy, covered?

NO Pre-Approval clause with penalty?
Some policies from some GAP insurance providers strictly enforce that you must seek the claim administrator's approval before accepting an offer from your motor insurer, with you forfeiting some or all of your GAP insurance claim in the event that you don't.

Total Loss Courtesy Car available?
Provides the use of a courtesy car for up to 28-days in the event your motor insurer declares your vehicle a Total Loss and withdraws their courtesy car provision


Subject to an additional fee being paid.

Ability to cover some or all of the Initial Rental you paid?
In the event of a Total Loss, be reimbursed some or all of the initial rental that you paid as part of your lease agreement, thereby reducing the hit to your pocket in organising the lease of a replacement vehicle.


Max £3,000
Subject to an additional fee being paid.

Cancel within this period and receive a full refund if no claim has been made

30-days

Pro-Rata rebate of unused premium if you cancel outsde of the initial Cooling Off Period?
If you sell your vehicle and cancel the policy early with no claim having been made, do you get some of your money back?


Daily Calculation
Transferrable?
If you sell your vehicle and have not claimed on your GAP insurance policy, can the unused portion be transferred forward on a new vehicle?
We will cancel your policy and allow you to transfer forward, the financial value of the remaining period of your cover, against the cost of a new policy on a new vehicle. No cancellation, transfer or admin fees will apply.
Will pay towards your Motor Insurance excess in the event of a successful Total Loss claim?

£250
NO Market Value clauses?
A Market Value clause permits the claim administrator to reduce the amount of your claim based either on their belief that you paid too much for it when you originally bought your vehicle or, if your motor insurer pays out less than they think your car is worth at the time of claim - potentially both. Where possible you should avoid any GAP insurance policy that has one or more market value clauses permitting such a reduction in the amount of claim.
