What is Gap Insurance?
If your car is 'written off', Gap Insurance can cover your outstanding finance payments, the value of your car when you bought it or even can also be used get back on the road with a car of the same spec as your insured vehicle when you bought it. Motor insurance only covers your vehicle to its value at the point it is declared a 'total loss'. This can be substantially less than outstanding finance commitments, the price you paid for your car and the cost of getting back on the road in a car with a similar specification.
