Your recently purchased vehicle is likely a cause for celebration with the family… 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, whether it’s your fault or someone else’s. What would this mean to your pocket and how will this 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 took out a finance agreement that you’re forced to terminate prematurely. However you bought it, you could find yourself having to foot a bill of thousands… and that include the cost of replacing the vehicle.
The good news is that if you take out Gap Insurance cover from Click4Gap, you’ll have a shortfall of up to £75,000 covered, plus up to £1,500 for dealer-fitted accessories.
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 budget.
Your Gap cover from Click4Gap will protect your vehicle for:
A vehicle typically depreciates the moment it leaves the showroom and continues to depreciate year after year.
Let’s say for example that you purchased a vehicle then, 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 day it was written off. 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.
Select the tab below that indicates how you funded your vehicle to see what shortfall 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 £16,500 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 £5,300. 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.
APG Cover Combined Gap Insurance Plus will cover up to £75,000, to make up 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, subject to the terms of your policy. In addition you’ll have up to £1,500 dealer-fitted accessories covered too.
APG Cover Combined Gap Insurance Plus will cover 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, whichever is the greater, subject to the terms of your policy.
