Suggestions for Gap Insurance - J500ANT

My friend used click4gap and when he claimed on the policy they were quite speedy in paying out. Go for RTI cover, return to invoice OR true VRI which gives you the list price of a brand new model at time of claim. Ideal in times of rising car prices.

Suggestions for Gap Insurance - LikedDrivingOnce

Gap insurance is not as good as it seems when you are sat with the salesman signing all the papers for a new car.
I had a bad accident in a car only a couple of months after I had bought it, (not my fault) and because it was so new the Insurance company insisted on repairing it instead of writing it off.

Therefore Gap insurance could not be used - and I was left with a tainted car. The repairs were OK, I suppose, but it was never the same.
