Finance GAP Insurance

Eligability – Hire Purchase, Lease Purchase, Personal contract Purchase (PCP)

Finance GAP is available for a vehicle financed under a Finance Agreement other than Contract Hire. Finance GAP insurance is available to companies and private individuals on vehicles up to eight years of age for a maximum cover period of 5 years, irrespective of when you bought the vehicle – with Finance GAP you pay for the period of cover you require.

If the vehicle is written off during the period of the Finance Agreement, without taking out Finance GAP you will be liable for any financial shortfall when settling the Finance Agreement if not fully covered by your general motor insurance policy.

Your motor insurance provider will pay out the market value of your car. If the finance settlement from your finance provider is in excess of the insurer’s offer you will be personally liable for the financial shortfall.

Example:

Original Cost of your car:£20,000
Deposit:£2,000
Amount of loan:£18,000
One year later the car is stolen or is in an accident and declared a total loss.
Amount still owing to your finance company:£12,000
The insurance company pays you only:£9,000

So what will you have to do?
Simple! The Vehicle owner has to pay the GAP

Finance GAP Insurance will pay the £3,000 still owing to the Finance / Contract Hire Company

Motorhome GAP Insurance

Eligibility – Hire Purchase, Lease Purchase, Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), Outright Purchase, Personal Loan

Back to Invoice is available to a company or private individual whether the car is on finance (except Contract Hire), owned outright or on a personal loan. We can supply cover for cars up to 8 years old with four years of cover. When the vehicle is purchased or placed on finance, the motor dealer will supply you with an invoice stating the invoice price you have paid for the car.

By having a Back to Invoice Insurance policy the policy will pay to you the difference between the insurance settlement and your original invoice price. If the car is on finance, you should still benefit from a considerable contribution towards the purchase of a replacement car of your choice when settled off.

Example:

Original Cost of your car:£20,000
Deposit:£2,000
Amount of loan:£18,000
18 Months later the car is stolen or is in an accident and declared a total loss.
Amount still owing to your finance company:£12,000
The insurance company pays you only:£9,000

Simple! The Vehicle owner has to pay the GAP
