JAGUAR CARS INSURANCE COMBINED GAP AND RTI INSURANCE
2 BRIDGING THE GAP SO YOU DON T HAVE TO
INTRODUCTION Do you know how much you would get from your motor insurance policy if your car is written off due to an accident, fire or theft? Even with comprehensive cover, your motor insurance company may only pay out the market value for your car in the event of a total loss. For example, if your car cost you 30,000, its market value may have become 14,000 after two years, and this is what you will receive from your motor insurance company (minus any applicable excess). This means you will have lost 16,000. In the event of this happening to you, Jaguar Cars Insurance offers Combined Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) and Return To Invoice Insurance (RTI), underwritten by AmTrust Europe Limited, to protect against this type of financial loss.
