What is Finance GAP Insurance?
Finance GAP Insurance is designed to lessen the financial impact of having your finance vehicle 'written-off'. In the event that your car insurer declares your vehicle a 'total loss', there is a possibility that the amount they pay out in settlement of your claim will be less than the outstanding amount you owe the finance company.
GAP Insurance pays the difference between the market value of your vehicle and the finance settlement figure up to a maximum benefit of either £5k or £10k.
The level of GAP Insurance cover depends on the value of your vehicle.
What is Return to Invoice (RTI) GAP Insurance?
RTI GAP Insurance is designed to supplement your motor insurance so you can afford to replace your car with a similar model. In the event that your car insurer declares your vehicle a 'total loss', you will only be paid the 'current market value' of the vehicle at the time of the loss - NOT what you originally paid and therefore not enough to buy a vehicle of similar value again.
RTI GAP pays the difference between the market value of your vehicle and the original invoice price you paid for the car up to the maximum benefit of either £10k or £20k.
The level of RTI GAP insurance cover depends on the benefit you choose.
DID YOU KNOW.......
If you take out a lease vehicle and your contract is terminated early becuase your car was declared a TOTAL LOSS by your insurer then the finance company that purchased the vehicle on your behalf (remember they are the registered owners, the customer is merely the registered keeper of the car) will arrange a settlement figure which will include the following:
a) The market value of the vehicle
b) Outstanding future monthly payments - what a lot of customers don't realise is that you will be terminating your contract early (afterall, its not the finance companies fault that your car has been declared a total loss) so you will be charged an early termination sum which can be anything from 50%-100% (dependent on the finance company) of the total outstanding monthly rentals which will be reflected in the settlement figure.
SO WHY TAKE GAP/RTI Insurance? Well the settlement figure that you receive from your insurance company may not be enough to cover the finance companies settlement figure (a+b above); this is the GAP, the financial shortfall in essence. GAP Insurance will bridge any shortfall (dependant on the amount of cover taken e.g. £5k, £10k or £20k).
So which cover is best for me?
GAP Insurance - is for any individual or business that is leasing or contract hiring a vehicle e.g. CH or PCH
RTI GAP Insurance - is for any customer financing a vehicle with the option to gain ownership of the vehicle either through a hire purchase, lease purchase, personal contract purchase e.g. PCP or CP. Designed for customers wishing to retain as much equity as possible in the event of a valid claim.
Major Exclusions:
- A vehicle written off whilst driving illegally or under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- A vehicle not covered by a fully comprehensive road risk motor policy
- A vehicle used for hire or reward
- If the vehicle is left unattended when the keys have not been removed, the doors are unlocked and any immobiliser and / or the alarm is not activated.
