Save between 20% and 60% on Gap Insurance this February<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With March and the new “13<\/strong>” number plate fast approaching, you may well be planning to replace your existing vehicle and as we all know, it’s only a matter of time before you’re sat in the dealership, across the desk from the salesperson, discussing Gap Insurance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So, you may like to know that whilst suffering from the effects of having not quite fully thawed out from the mind-numbing cold snap that set in recently, we made the decision to go a little insane with our prices and reduce every Gap Insurance policy we have by anything from 20% to 60%<\/strong> until the end of February.<\/p>\n

In addition, if you have a live Gap Insurance policy with us (or on purchased originally from SurfandProtect.com), you may well be entitled to a rebate against the cost of a new policy too!<\/p>\n

And that’s not all…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until the end of this month if you Like us on Facebook after buying a Gap Insurance policy from us, we’ll give you back \u00a35<\/strong><\/span>!<\/p>\n

Vauxhall Insignia takes a 3yr 61%+ DEPRECIATION hit.<\/h3>\n

\"Owned<\/a>Looking at our Claim Statistics, the biggest depreciating vehicle in December 2012, was far and away a Vauxhall Insignia.<\/p>\n

Purchased: <\/strong>December 2009
\nInvoice Price:<\/strong> \u00a322,188.00
\nGap Insurance Claim:<\/strong> December 2012
\nGap Insurance Payout: <\/strong>\u00a313,568.00<\/span><\/p>\n

Owned for 36 months<\/strong>, this Insignia lost an average of \u00a3376.89 per month<\/strong><\/span> to an eyebrow-raising total of \u00a313,568.00<\/strong>, or putting it another way, it lost 61.15%<\/strong><\/em> of its original purchase price.<\/p>\n

We’re always coming up against people who believe Gap Insurance is not worth the money, but we’re fairly sure this customer, having paid just \u00a3266.45<\/span><\/strong> for his Gap Insurance policy, was VERY appreciative of the \u00a313,568.00<\/strong> paid to him, in addition<\/strong> to his Motor Insurance policy payout.<\/p>\n

What Invoice Gap Insurance policy Claim Limit would you have chosen for this vehicle?<\/em><\/h6>\n

Choosing a policy claim limit is arguably the most difficult part of taking out a Gap Insurance policy.  As you are (or have been) a Gap Insurance policyholder you may well have agonised over this aspect of the policy yourself.<\/p>\n

We wanted to help make the process of choosing a policy Claim Limit easier for everyone so (aside from the fact we offer policies with an “unlimited” Claim Limit), in a EUREKA! moment it occurred to us that we can easily look at the sums that are being paid out by our policies in the first place. So…<\/p>\n

As of this month we’re now publishing** details of the claims our policies are subject to.  You can see details of our 10 most recent Invoice Gap Insurance policy claims here<\/a><\/strong> and details of our 10 most recent Replacement Gap Insurance policy claims here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
