GAP Insurance for Fiat

Fiats are loved for their personality and practicality on the road. With bags of history, it’s one of the world’s most respected car manufacturers. But depreciation doesn’t share that same respect.

Depreciation will strike as soon as you sit down in your brand-new Fiat. The value starts to drop, which could leave you financially at risk. If your car is written off or stolen, your motor insurer will only pay its current market value. That will leave you with a shortfall.

Fiat GAP insurance may cover the shortfall between what your main insurer pays and what you originally paid for the car, or the remaining balance on the finance agreement. Depending on the policy, the potential payout may mean you can replace your Fiat without dipping into your savings or settling for a cheaper model.

How Fiat GAP insurance works

  • 1. Your Fiat is written off or stolen, so it’s time to make a Fiat GAP insurance claim. It’s not something that anyone wants to think about when you’ve got a fancy Italian car sitting on the drive, but the risk is there. If it happens, you’ll be glad you’ve planned ahead.
  • 2. Your motor insurer pays the market value. Standard motor insurance only pays what your Fiat is worth at the time of the claim, not what you originally paid.
  • 3. If a claim is accepted, Fiat GAP Insurance may top this up to the agreed level. This may cover the shortfall, depending on the policy terms.
  • 4. Hit the road again! No stress and certainly no nasty surprises. The potential payout may reduce the financial impact so you can look for another Fiat.
