Protect yourself with GAP insurance
What is GAP Insurance?
On average a car will lose 50% of its original value in 3 years and will continue to depreciate over time.
If your car is written off or stolen your comprehensive motor insurer will only give you a settlement for the vehicle’s market value – its depreciated value – leaving you out-of-pocket.
