GAP Insurance
GAP Insurance
Finance GAP is designed to help you lessen the financial impact of having your financed vehicle written off.
In the event that your road risk insurer declares your vehicle a total loss, there is a likelihood that the amount they will pay to you in settlement of your claim will be less than the outstanding amount you owe to the finance company. The shortfall could be a significant sum depending on the rate of depreciation of your vehicle and the remaining period of the finance agreement. You will be held liable for the shortfall by the finance company, however GAP Insurance protects you by paying the finance company the shortfall on your behalf.
For example: A successful GAP claim would pay out up to £5,000 or £10,000 (the amount depends on the level of cover you take out) to cover the difference between what your motor insurer values your vehicle at and the settlement / termination figure on your finance agreement.
