GAP Insurance

Cover that’s as dependable as your Volkswagen

Life can be full of uncertainties... but one thing’s for certain - there’s no need to worry when it comes to your Volkswagen. Just get yourself a brand new one if ever you find yourself in need.

Should your Volkswagen be stolen or written off in an accident, GAP Insurance could give you the extra payment you need (on top of your insurance payout) to help you buy a brand new car. A comprehensive motor insurance is likely to only offer you a 'total-loss' payment (based on the current value of your car) in such circumstances. This could be a lot less than the price you paid - or are still paying - for your Volkswagen. You’ll be glad to know GAP Insurance is there to protect you against such losses.

You can choose from two types of GAP Insurance cover

• GAP (Shortfall Protection)
  This covers the difference between the amount your insurance company will pay and what you actually owe under your Volkswagen Finance agreement. A payment of up to £10,000 could be made.
• GAP Plus (Return to Invoice)
  This covers the difference between the amount your insurance company will pay and the actual price you paid for your vehicle. A payment of up to £15,000 could be made, which will help you replace your car with a new car - the same, or similar to the one you have lost.

Both of these payments will apply on top of your insurance claim settlement and you can get them for new and used vehicles.

How can I take out GAP insurance cover? Simple. Just pick up an application form from the retailer who sold you your vehicle. Then make a single payment for up to three years cover with the GAP Plus option, and up to five years with the GAP option. Please note that it is absolutely essential that you also have a comprehensive motor insurance policy in place throughout the period of cover.
