What is Replacement GAP insurance?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your car is written off through accident, fire, theft or flood, Replacement GAP insurance<\/a> (commonly referred to as “Vehicle Replacement Insurance (VRI)” cover) aims to pay the difference between your Motor Insurer’s Total Loss valuation of your vehicle and the higher of<\/strong> either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The amount you owe the finance company at the time of claim, OR<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The original invoice price that you paid for the vehicle, OR<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The cost of replacing your vehicle with a brand-new version of the same (or nearest equivalent) vehicle, at the time of claim<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Subject to eligibility, it’s available for a vehicle for which you are the first registered keeper<\/strong>, that (at the time of purchasing the policy) is less than 90 days old<\/strong>, that was bought from a VAT registered motor dealer, for a purchase price of up to \u00a350,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your vehicle is more than 90-days old (but less than 10-years old) and\/or you purchased it for more than \u00a350,000 within the last 90-days, we can potentially offer you Invoice GAP insurance<\/a> for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    See “What Is Invoice GAP insurance?<\/a>” for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you bought your vehicle more than 90-days ago and\/or you bought it from a private seller instead of from a motor dealer, and it’s currently worth less than \u00a380,000, we can potentially off you Top-Up GAP insurance<\/a> for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
