Protect your investment

Buying a car is a big outlay, even more so when you make a long-term financial commitment with a car loan or repayment arrangement over several years.

But if your car is stolen or written off within a few years you could suddenly lose a lot of your investment. That’s because motor insurers normally only agree to pay out the value of your car at the time of the theft or accident – not the value of your car when you purchased it. And since car values can depreciate rapidly, the amount of your payout could be shockingly small.

Gap Insurance covers the difference between what you originally paid for your car and the insurance pay out you will get if your car is stolen or written off. So doesn’t it make sense to spend a little to protect your big investment? Get a Gap Insurance quote now
