If your Fully Comprehensive Insurance provider accepts your Total Loss claim, your GAP Insurance policy will pay out We cover for theft of keys A vehicle leased on a 36 month contract paying 3 months in advance leaving 35 rentals to pay at a monthly rental of VAT. Assume the vehicle is declared a Total Loss in month 4 leaving 31 rentals due. Total rentals due: 9,300 Leasing companies can charge up to 100% of outstanding rentals, without GAP Insurance this may well be payable by you as it is unlikely to be covered under your Fully Comprehensive policy.

4 Motor Home GAP Insurance Eligibility Hire Purchase, Lease Purchase, Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), Outright Purchase, Personal Loan Back to Invoice is available to a company or private individual whether the car is on finance (except Contract Hire), owned outright or on a personal loan. We can supply cover for cars up to 10 years old with four years of cover. When the vehicle is purchased outright or placed on finance, the motor dealer will supply you with an invoice stating the invoice price you have paid for the car. In the event of an insurance write-off including theft of keys, your motor insurance policy will pay to you what they believe is the market value of the car probably substantially less than you paid for it. By having a Back to Invoice Insurance policy the policy will pay to you the difference between the insurance settlement and your original invoice price. If the car is on finance, you should still benefit from a considerable contribution towards the purchase of a replacement car of your choice when settled off. Free transfer for the remaining balance of the GAP policy if you change your vehicle before the insurance end date We cover under 18's with a Provisional Driving Licence If your primary insurer replaces your vehicle new for old in the first and or second year, we will transfer the whole policy to your replacement vehicle FREE of charge Any amendment you wish to make to your existing policy, for example; change of address or registration number can also be made, again FREE of charge If your Fully Comprehensive Insurance provider accepts your Total Loss claim, your GAP Insurance policy will pay out We cover for theft of keys

11 Example: Original Cost of your car: 20,000 Deposit: 2,000 Amount of loan: 18, months later the car is stolen or is in an accident and declared a total loss. Amount still owing to your finance company: 12,000 The insurance company pays you only: 9,000 Without a GAP policy, you will owe 3,000 With Vehicle Replacement GAP A new vehicle Please note Your car insurer may be offering you a new for old Comprehensive policy in the first year, you may, therefore, be considering deferring the start of your GAP policy for 12 months. However, your insurer will have exclusions built into the new for old element of their policy, e.g. the car must not exceed 12,000 miles in the first year. If you suffer a total loss in the first year and your claim for new for old is rejected because your claim is affected by an exclusion clause, you need to ask yourself; will your GAP provider who has deferred the start for 12 months payout within this 12 month deferred period? If they don t, you could well find yourself without any GAP Insurance for 12 months is it worth the risk?

12 Why buy VRP/GAP? How often do you hear of people who have their vehicle written off only to find that the Market Value offered by their insurer is not enough to replace the vehicle with a similar one or pay off any outstanding finance. Taking out a VRP/GAP policy will avoid this. Every 2 minutes a vehicle is stolen 60% of vehicles stolen in the UK are either never recovered or are damaged and written off.
