GAP Insurance – Guaranteed Asset Protection

If your vehicle is stolen or written off, you need a safety net. With GAP Insurance from AutoProtect, you’ll have the ultimate peace of mind knowing we’ve got you covered.

What is GAP Insurance?

In the event of a total loss, your motor insurer will pay a settlement at the market value of the vehicle at the time it was written off. This could leave you with a substantial shortfall between the price you paid to purchase and the amount you’re offered, making it harder to afford a replacement and leaving you liable for the remaining amount on any finance agreement in place.

How Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) works

Purchase Price: £27,000

Insurance Pay-out at market value: £20,250

Can you give me an example?

You paid £27,000 to purchase your car. After a period of time, your vehicle is written off your motor insurer pays out the market value of the vehicle at the time, which could be £20,250. A GAP pay-out of £6750 makes up the difference.


What are the benefits?

  • Helps make a like-for-like replacement vehicle more affordable.
  • Cover for the remaining amount on your finance agreement if your vehicle is written off
  • Protection from the financial impact of vehicle depreciation.
