Gap Insurance helps cover you against financial oss in the result that your vehicle is written-off by your insurance company in the event of an accident, theft, flood or fire. Once your car is deemed to be a total loss the insurer will pay you an amount of money to compensate you for the loss but this is often less than it would cost you to buy another car of the same age, spec and mileage, and it's often less than the amount outstanding on your car finance (even after your deposit!).
Gap Insurance is designed to bridge that gap and top-up what the insurer has paid you to ensure you're not left out of pocket.
In most cases, a write-off leaves the motorist with a financial loss or debt, or sometimes both. Gap Insurance is an optional multi-year insurance to cover losses or debt that is not covered by fully comprehensive motor insurance.
Cash buyers - lose the vehicle depreciation value when a write-off occurs
Finance buyers - can be left with a debt or a loss of deposit - or both
Contract Hire users - can be left with a debt - or loss of advance rentals - or both.
Gap Cover is often offered by car dealerships and car finance companies but to ensure that you get the best terms and cover available it's always worth speaking to a reputable insurance broker first.

Helpful info, clearly and fairly presented as usual. Thanks Jim!
Glad it was helpful!
I had heard of this type of cover but to be honest I had no clue what it was about. I’ll seriously consider this next time I buy or lease a car, thank you Jim.
👍👍
Called car 2 cover, obtained a quote and my discount! Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Thanks William
This is very useful, thanks. Definitely use this for my next lease.
No problem!
Benefitted from this when my 9 month old Leon was totalled by a careless artic driver. Also car dealers almost never offer a decent price on insurance, shop around!!
I think that's the key to everything shop around not just for price but for quality of cover etc too.
Hi,
Just BRILLIANT and well presented. I’ve always avoided this type of insurance over the last 40 yrs but having just purchased a Jaguar i-pace, many questions/suggestions have sprung up .? Must say your vid has provided several answers, the car was purchased 3 wks ago. Will definitely take up your offer and see what Car2cover can provide as a cost. Keep the good work and thanks again for your guidance. Len
Cheers Len, great feedback 👍
Great piece of information Jim, thanks! 👍🏻
Thanks buddy
I bought 3 years gap ( return to invoice) for a 1 year old car. I used Car2Cover much cheaper than what the dealer was offering.
You chose wisely!
Booked a call back. This looks like very good cover. I nearly paid £450 for tyre and alloy cover to dealership. Pleased I didn’t now
Yikes!
Interesting to hear they recommend getting the cover as soon after purchase as possible as don’t insurance companies payout the new vehicle price for cars less than a year old? Appreciate this doesn’t apply for those buying older vehicles.
Most insurance companies (around 95%)do new for old car replacement within the first year but there are usually caveats around mileage / usage etc in many policies.
The mitigated risk to the Gap provider in year one of a new car's life would be factored into the premium - as you see in the video it was £147 to insurance a car for 3 years so it's not overly expensive. Gap cover just removes the element of doubt for those who want peace of mind.
You need to buy it quickly as otherwise it might be purchased "after the event" if you see what I mean, making it far more open to fraud.
Cheers Jim. While watching this a question popped into my head. How would GAP insurance work when the value of your new car rises after purchase? These are crazy times where a premium is being paid to negate long lead times.
I guess it depends on the type of cover you purchase. Car2Cover can probably answer that one better than me.
Interesting… it’s worth considering based on my experience of having my Escort van written off.
That was a major headache, as my cash flow had tanked at the time 🙁.
I mate of mine had his car written off in the summer and had to put a few grand on top of the write off amount to basically buy the same car again.
I've never heard of this type of insurance before! Great video 🙂 It just seems ridiculous that you pay such high insurance premium to be fully insured and yet when you need to claim they can settle on a much lower value than your car is worth ?
How is that even fair?
Is this the case with all insurance companies?
There’s a difference between value and cost. All insurers settle on book value (unless you have an agreed value classic car policy). What someone pays retail for something is different to its intrinsic value. 👍
Good advice, I've been looking at this myself.
Self employed..it's easy to Off set against tax anyway
👍👍👍
Insurance companies will be chancing their arms just now and trying to pay out as little as possible so protect their shareholders dividends.
Despite the fact that second hand cars are at an all time high. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.
👌
👍👍👍 Thank you
Thanks Pete
For the car invoice price do I put what I paid before or after my deposit? Great video, ill definitely check out this gap company.
I’m pretty sure it’s the whole amount including your deposit. Car2Cover (Tom & Elaine) will be able to give you the definitive answer!
I need to sort this for my new lease.. what I'm confused about, when they ask for car value... Do they mean the full car price? Or what the lease is going to cost me over the lease contract?? Thanks for the video.
Hi Paul, it will always mean the value of the car (as in P11D value - thats the total RRP including any extras such as metallic paint etc). You'll see in the quote I do in the video that they also ask how much my lease payments are. Hope that helps.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru thanks, you explained in the video after my comment was posted 👍 bought my cover with them now .. but bought online as I'm at work so couldn't call, but thanks again as always
Cheers Paul
Which cover did you get ? Return to invoice or replacement ?
It depends on your circumstances and budget, give them a chat and discuss your needs and they can talk you through it
Can i still get it just alright if my car is leased and 7months old?
I doubt it but worth giving them a ring
Hi I just had my brand new Sportage delivered on lease. I am trying to get a gap insurance but I am jnsure what to put on purchase price as I have downpayment and initial payment. I don’t know total value of the car🤨
Just spec it up on the Kia website and it will show you the price. It should be the full RRP.
In my experience after my car was stolen few years ago it’s an absolute nightmare trying to get the gap insurance company & the car insurance to sort out the finance to be refunded. I ended up doing all the work myself for both parties. Endless calls: wasted time hanging on the phone. Shocking experience
I assume you didn’t use Car2Cover then? Who were the car insurers and gap insurers?
Didn’t use these. It was all organised through bmw. I’m in such a pickle. I want to get a new/used car - hybrid. I drive a Range Rover at present but want something more economical. I have no idea where to start. I’m swaying towards leasing a vehicle though
That’s a shame. Have you gone back to BMW to complain? They sold you the product so you’d be well advised to lodge a formal complaint.
For the new car maybe look at what Lexus has on offer 👍
Gap insurers don’t seem to seem to insure/pay out if your cars been modified, struggling to find anywhere that would
👍
👍👍👍
🙏🙏🙏
Have you had any comments from people who have made a claim ?. Good or bad.
Not yet
I just tried to use the car to cover insurance but it came up as they couldn’t give me cover
OK, shame - maybe speak to someone next week
If you buy a new like I did I bought gap insurance lucky for me prices are higher when I smashed my car up the gap insurance even paid me back what was left on the gap always always consider gap insurance
👍👍
Just spent 15 mins filling out the car2cover quote form on the basis of your recommendation but at no point can you enter your referral code? Seems a shame as I only went to them on your recommendation.
You have to ring them to get the £10 off - website is not ready to accept the code yet
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Just completed the GAP insurance purchase by phone, - they spoke highly of you.
@@roddyb well…they don’t know me that well. Nice people huh?
