Your recently purchased vehicle is likely a cause for celebration… and no doubt one of your biggest investments. Just think what might happen if it was stolen and not recovered, or written off as the result of an accident that wasn’t even your fault. What would this mean to your pocket and how will it impact your life?
The likelihood is that your motor insurer will decide it’s a total loss and pay out your vehicle’s value on the date of loss. But this doesn’t take into account any depreciation in its value, or interest and early settlement fees if you have a finance agreement and are forced to terminate early. However you bought it, you could find yourself having to foot a bill of thousands… and still have to find the money to replace the vehicle.
The good news is that if you take out Gap Insurance cover from Click4Gap, you’ll have shortfall cover of up to £75,000, plus up to £1,500 for dealer-fitted accessories and up to £500 towards your motor insurance excess.
Ensuring your car is protected with Gap Insurance can offer a sense of financial peace of mind, however, it’s crucial to approach your decision with care and knowledge. Here’s a helpful checklist to guide you through the complexities of Gap cover to ensure you make an informed choice that aligns with your needs and your budget.
Your Gap cover from Click4Gap will protect your vehicle for:
A vehicle depreciates the moment it leaves the showroom and continues to depreciate year after year, losing up to 60% of its value in the first five years.
Let’s say for example that you purchased a vehicle and a year or two later, it’s written off. Your comprehensive motor insurer will pay a settlement amount equivalent to the market value on the date of the incident. That means you could well be out of pocket by a significant amount… and if you financed your vehicle your outstanding balance could be even more when you take early settlement costs and interest into account.
If you had Gap Insurance however, this amount would be covered, subject to the policy terms, and you’d be left free of this debt to look for a replacement. Have a look at the illustrative examples below to see how this could impact you.

may need to cover if your vehicle is written off or stolen and declared a total loss.
Possible shortfall amount,
for your account
If you paid £25,000 cash for your car and a year or so later it’s declared a total loss, after your motor insurance pay-out you could have a shortfall of as much as £8,030. If you have Gap Insurance, this shortfall would be covered in total up to an amount of £75,000, subject to the policy terms, plus up to £1,500 for dealer-fitted accessories and £500 towards your motor insurance excess.
Click4Gap Combined Gap Insurance will cover a shortfall of up to £75,000, to make up the difference between your motor insurer pay-out, which is the market value at the time of loss, and your vehicle’s purchase value, subject to the policy terms. In addition, up to £1,500 for dealer-fitted accessories and up to £500 towards your motor insurance excess.
Click4Gap Combined Gap Insurance will cover either: the outstanding balance on your finance account; or the shortfall between what your motor insurer will pay, which is the market value at the time of loss, and your vehicle’s value when you bought it. You’ll be paid whichever of these is the greater, subject to the terms of your policy.
