Minor dents, small scratches and scuffs are not only unsightly, but they also have a negative effect on the value of a car. In the past, cosmetic damage meant leaving the vehicle with a conventional body shop for several days while it was repaired – often leaving you with a large bill at the end.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP Insurance)
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP Insurance)
Vehicle values can change quickly after purchase. GAP Insurance helps protect you financially if your vehicle is written off or stolen and not recovered.
If your insurer settles your claim, GAP Insurance may cover the difference between the insurance payout and either the original purchase price or outstanding finance balance, depending on the type of cover selected.
This helps ensure you are not left out of pocket should the unexpected happen.
In most cases, from the moment a vehicle leaves the dealership, it will start to depreciate at a rate that is dependent upon how old it is, and how many miles it has clocked.
In the event that a vehicle is written off as a result of an accident, fire or theft, most insurers will only pay out the market value of the vehicle at the time of loss. This is often considerably less than its original value, and could mean that there is a shortfall on the outstanding finance, or the cost of replacing it with an equivalent vehicle.
Depending on how you choose to purchase or fund your vehicle, we offer a range of products to protect you and your vehicle:
Finance GAP
This covers the difference between the amount your motor insurance company pays, and the amount required to settle your finance agreement. It will also cover any initial rentals and contribute towards your motor insurance excess.
Return to Invoice Insurance
Covers the difference between the amount your motor insurer company pays and the original invoice price of the vehicle, including manufacturer and dealer fitted accessories. In addition, it will also contribute towards a motor insurance excess.
Vehicle Replacement Insurance
VRI covers the difference between your motor insurers pay out and the cost of a new vehicle, despite any increases in cost as a result of model changes or inflation. Again, it will also contribute towards a motor insurance excess.
