gap insurance

what is it?

In the event of your vehicle being declared a write-off by your insurance company because of theft or an accident, there may be a shortfall between the vehicle's current market value and the value required by the lease/finance company to settle the lease/finance agreement.

The shortfall could be a significant sum depending on the rate of depreciation of your vehicle and the remaining period of the lease/finance agreement.  You will be held liable for the shortfall by the lease/finance company, however GAP Insurance protects you by paying the lease/finance company on your behalf.

who is it for?

Customers using Contract Hire or Finance Lease to obtain a vehicle, where their requirement is simply getting out of the agreement without financial penalty should a valid claim be made.

example

A customer buys a BMW 3-Series Saloon for £19,226, with a deposit of £1,200 and finances the remainder.

18 months later the car is involved in an accident and is written off.

The insurance company settles £12,700, but the customer still owes the Finance Company £13,831.

The GAP Insurance plan will pay the £1,131 shortfall between the Insurance Company Payout and the amount due to the finance company in settlement.
