VRI Gap Insurance

Great cover for new and ex-demonstrator cars

Click4Gap Vehicle Replacement Insurance (VRI) is available to you whether you paid cash or borrowed the money from a Bank or Finance House Loan.

Added Protection

If you paid for your car using a bank or finance house loan or simply paid cash, Vehicle Replacement Insurance (VRI) will protect you against depreciation if your car's stolen and not recovered or damaged beyond safe or economical repair and your motor insurer declares it to be a total loss.

Get back the price of a brand new car

When your motor insurer declares your car to be a "total loss" through theft, vandalism or accident, it's really important to understand that they typically only pay the loss value, the value of your car on the date of loss ? not the invoice price (purchase value), what it was worth when you purchased GAP.

Now the good news, if this happens Click4Gap Vehicle Replacement Insurance (VRI) will pay the depreciation, plus the difference between the purchase value and the price we would pay for a brand new replacement car.... it's that simple! If you prefer, we can of course supply the car, but we find most of our customers choose to take the money leaving them free to spend all or just part of the money on their choice of replacement car.

To ensure the benefit due to you is fairly and impartially calculated, like all responsible insurers Click4Gap undertake to recognise the independent third party valuation of Glass's for accurate valuations. Glass's Guide has been the motor and insurance industries leading car valuation service for almost 75 years. As with all responsible Gap providers, should the loss or purchase value be called into question, we refer to the Glass's retail value.

In the UK car crime is a third of all crime, a vehicle is stolen every minute with a third never being recovered. A sad fact is that over 500,000 vehicles become a total loss each year.

• Motor Insurance settles the depreciated value, not the purchase value.
• The price of a brand new replacement car will be increasing year on year
• From the second you start driving your car it's depreciating.
• Insurance Companies depreciate cars by up to 60% over a three year period.
• A car is stolen every minute of the day in the UK.
• Over 500,000 vehicles become a total loss each year.
• You pay the deprecation, not your motor insurer.

IIf your motor insurer declares your car to be a "total loss" through theft, vandalism or accident, they will typically pay you the loss value, the value of your car on the date of loss ? not the purchase value, what it was worth when you purchased GAP.
