Toyota Models Our Insurers Can Cover

Toyota builds cars people keep for a long time, which makes the first few years of depreciation the part worth thinking about. Our insurers can offer Toyota GAP insurance across the range, from Aygo X and Yaris hatchbacks to the Corolla, C-HR and RAV4, Hilux pickups and the fully electric bZ4X. Whether you paid in full, chose PCP, signed a lease agreement or bought used, we can help you compare cover.

GAP insurance doesn’t care if you’re leasing. We can still arrange cover. A write-off could leave you with more than an empty driveway. If you’re comparing Toyota GAP coverage lease options, our insurers may be able to help cover the shortfall between your motor insurance payout and the amount still due under your lease agreement.

A Toyota lease is built around a set agreement, with payments running for a fixed period. If the vehicle is written off or stolen and not recovered before that agreement ends, your comprehensive motor insurer’s settlement may not cover the full eligible amount linked to the contract. Toyota lease GAP insurance may help with a qualifying shortfall on an eligible contract hire agreement.

New

Used

Petrol

Diesel

Hybrids

Electric

Toyota Aygo X, Yaris

Small hatchbacks that handle city driving, first cars and second cars without much fuss.

Toyota Corolla

The name that has outlasted almost everything else on the road. Hatchback, saloon and estate, hybrid in most cases.

Toyota C-HR, RAV4

The SUVs doing most of the work in Toyota showrooms. Family-sized, hybrid as standard and popular on PCP.

Toyota Hilux, Land Cruiser

Built for work and rough ground rather than comfort. Often bought used and kept for years.

Toyota bZ4X

Toyota’s fully electric SUV, subject to the electric vehicle price limit on PCP and cash purchases.

Choose The Right Toyota GAP Coverage For You

Whether your Toyota is a brand-new RAV4 or a Corolla that has already done a few school runs, our insurance providers may have an RTI GAP option available. Following an accepted total-loss claim, it could help reduce the financial difference between your motor insurer’s settlement and the original invoice price, subject to the policy terms and claim limit.

The policy that may suit you depends on how you bought your Toyota and what you would like the cover to protect. The information below explains how GAP insurance could apply across different types of Toyota, while Toyota GAP insurance lease options may also be available for qualifying agreements.

New & Used Toyota GAP Coverage

New or used?

Depreciation affects new and used cars alike, so GAP could help protect the price you paid. Cover is available on vehicles up to ten years old, bought within the last 180 days and priced from £5,000.

Petrol & Diesel

Petrol or diesel?

Petrol and diesel models lose value steadily, but the gap between what you paid and what your insurer settles can still be significant. GAP could help reduce that difference if an eligible vehicle is written off or stolen.

Hybrids

A bit of both

Hybrid and plug-in versions often carry a price premium over the equivalent petrol model, which means a larger shortfall to cover if the worst happens. GAP could help protect the eligible invoice price paid for the vehicle.

Fully Electric

Plugged in

Electric models lose value quickly, and the shortfall after a total loss can be larger than expected. On PCP and cash purchases, electric vehicles are covered up to a £50,000 vehicle price. Lease and contract hire have no such restriction.

How Toyota GAP Insurance works

1. Your car is written off or stolen, don’t panic. It’s something you hope will never happen, but the risk is always there.
2. The regular insurer you are with will pay the market value of the car. This is standard practice as the payout is at the time of the claim, not the original price you paid.
3. If a claim is accepted, Toyota GAP Insurance may top this up to the agreed level. This may cover the shortfall, depending on the policy terms.
4. Road ready again! Simple, clear, and no faff. The potential payout may help you replace your Toyota or clear your finance, so you can get back on the road without a financial sting.

My Porsche Taycan 4S GAP Insurance Claim

The Challenge In July 2023, I was involved in an accident that left my car a total write-off. The vehicle was just over 12 months old, and like most cars, it had already depreciated in value. The main insurer’s payout offer wouldn’t have even covered the outstanding finance. This would’ve left me with a nasty […]

Toyota GAP Insurance FAQs

We know you might have questions, here are the four we hear at Insureworks all the time.

No, Toyota GAP coverage is not a legal requirement when leasing a vehicle in the United Kingdom. You may still decide to consider it because your motor insurer’s settlement following a write-off or unrecovered theft might not cover the eligible amount remaining on your lease agreement. You could then be left paying towards a Toyota you no longer have. Depending on the policy terms, Toyota lease GAP insurance may help with some or all of that shortfall.

Toyota GAP insurance is designed to help with an eligible financial difference following a total loss. Your comprehensive motor insurer pays first, usually based on the vehicle’s value at the time of the claim. If that leaves a gap against the amount protected by your GAP policy, cover may contribute towards it. What can be claimed will depend on the type of Toyota GAP insurance purchased, along with its terms and claim limit.

If you’re considering Toyota GAP insurance, you may want to think about when the cover starts. This is because depreciation starts from the moment the car rolls off the forecourt. If your car is written off or stolen soon after purchase, there may still be a financial shortfall between your motor insurer’s payout and what you paid or still owe. GAP insurance may help cover some or all of that shortfall, depending on the policy terms.

A broad selection of Toyota cars may qualify for GAP insurance, including popular models such as the Yaris, Corolla and RAV4. Hybrid and fully electric Toyotas may also be eligible, although different criteria can apply depending on the vehicle and how it was purchased. The model name alone does not confirm acceptance, so check the policy requirements and get a quote for your individual Toyota.
