Daily Calculation

Pays out in cash to the policyholder?
Some Invoice GAP insurance policies from some providers will contractually oblige you to allow them to source your next vehicle for you. Others may insist that you deal with a motor dealer that they nominate to source your next car. Thereby denying you the flexibility to choose which car you get next, from which dealer or even whether you wish to use the funds towards a new car at all.

After all parties with an interest in the vehicle have been paid (e.g. a finance company), any/all excess funds are paid directly to the policyholder leaving them free to use those funds against the cost of sourcing any vehicle from any dealership of their choice.
Cover for dealer fitted accessories?

Up to £1,500 worth
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.
