Finance Gap Insurance pays the difference between your vehicles valuation and the outstanding finance/rentals.
Finance Gap Insurance is the oldest and some say the best form of gap insurance. It is also probably the most flexible gap insurance as it can cover a whole range of vehicles for up to 5 years. Policy prices are also on average less than a fraction of the cost.In fact up to 85% less than main dealership prices.
Negative equity is a term that most of us old enough to remember will normally only associate with the housing market. That said it unfortunately a live and well in the car and commercial vehicle markets.
Negative Equity is a situation that no-one would ever knowingly want to be in however more and more of us find ourselves in negative equity through no fault of our own.
If you are reading this you will most likely have just been offered gap insurance by the your local dealership, the whole idea being if your vehicle is written off you are protected.
Please let me explain. An estimated 600,000 vehicles are written off in the UK each year but not everyone knows what it means and how it is decided if your vehicle is written off or repaired.
