Land Rover Models Our Insurers Can Cover

Our insurers can offer GAP insurance for a wide range of Land Rover models, whether they were bought new or used and whether you paid upfront or on finance such as PCP or on lease hire. The only thing we can’t cover right now is contract hire and we’re working on it.

A Land Rover lease can be a popular choice for drivers who want access to models such as the Defender or Discovery without buying the vehicle outright. If the car is written off before the lease ends, there can still be an eligible amount left to pay under the agreement after your comprehensive motor insurer has settled the claim.

Land Rover lease GAP insurance may help cover that eligible shortfall on qualifying contract hire agreements. Cover is subject to the policy terms, exclusions and Maximum Benefit, so it is important to check whether your vehicle and lease agreement qualify.

Land Rover Defender 90

The shorter Defender with compact proportions and seating for up to six, giving you the Defender look without quite so much car to fit into a parking space.

Land Rover Defender 110

A larger Defender with space for up to seven people, making it a practical option for drivers who need more passenger and luggage room.

Land Rover Discovery

Built for big family life, long weekends away and everything that comes with them

Land Rover Discovery Sport

A more compact Discovery with seating available for up to seven, offering extra flexibility without moving up to the larger Discovery.

Land Rover Defender 130

The biggest Defender in the family. Some versions can seat up to eight people, so eligibility needs checking carefully because the GAP criteria allow no more than seven seats.

Choose The Right Gap Cover For Your Land Rover

Whether you bought your mighty Land Rover new or used we’ve got you covered. Our insurers products are all RTI (return to invoice) GAP policies, meaning if the worst was to happen we should be able to help reduce the financial impact. Which type of policy you go for depends on personal preference, however, below gives you some guidance on what might be best for you and your car.

New Cars

Rocking a new landy?

Due to the depreciation that can hit when you roll off the forecourt, you'll most likely want a RTI policy.

Used Cars

Used but not forgotten

You might have avoided some depreciation but you're probably not out of the woods yet. Either a Basic or Plus policy will have you covered.

PCP / Finance

Have you taken finance out

Paying the new whip off monthly makes sense - It makes even more sense to cover the finance gap if the worse was to happen with RTI Cover.

Hire Purchase

You might still need GAP

Although you probably have higher monthly payments and no ballon payment, you might still hit negative equity at some point and require GAP.

Range Rover Sport 2025 Gap Insurance Depreciation Example

There was a 2025 Range Rover Sport with just 1,000 miles on the clock, listed on Auto Trader for £82,995. Sounds great. Until you see what WeBuyAnyCar values the same at: £65,560. That’s a massive £17,435 gap. If the worst was to happen, your insurer may only pay the market value of the car at the time of a claim, which could leave you seriously out of pocket when replacing it or paying off any outstanding finance.

That’s exactly why GAP insurance exists. A 4-year basic Return to Invoice GAP insurance policy through Insureworks would cost £668. Get a free instant quote today and keep your pride and joy properly protected.

How Land Rover GAP Insurance works

  • 1. Your Land Rover is written off or stolen. It’s a frustrating experience, but it happens more often than you realise.
  • 2. Your motor insurer pays the market value. Standard insurance covers what your Land Rover is worth today, not what you paid for it.
  • 3. If a claim is accepted, Land Rover 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! Simple, clear, and no faff. The potential payout may help you replace your Land Rover 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 […]

Land Rover GAP Insurance FAQs

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

Land Rover GAP insurance is not a legal requirement in the United Kingdom. That’s also the case if you’re leasing the car. Some drivers choose to consider it because, if the vehicle is stolen or written off, the motor insurer’s payout may not cover the full amount still due under the lease agreement. Nobody really wants to keep paying for a Land Rover they can no longer drive. Depending on the policy terms, Land Rover lease GAP insurance may help cover some or all of that eligible shortfall.

If your Land Rover is stolen or declared a total loss, Land Rover GAP insurance may help with the financial difference left behind after your motor insurer has paid out. Depending on the type of policy, this could relate to what you originally paid for the vehicle or an eligible amount still due under a finance or lease agreement. The amount covered will depend on the policy terms, limits and eligibility criteria.

If you are thinking about Land Rover GAP insurance, it is worth checking when the policy can start and any time limits that apply. Cars can begin losing value as soon as ownership starts. A theft or write-off shortly after purchase could still leave a gap between the motor insurer’s payout and what you paid or still owe. Land Rover GAP insurance may help with some or all of an eligible shortfall, subject to the policy terms.

Many Land Rover models may be eligible for GAP insurance, including popular Discovery and Defender variants. Eligibility depends on the individual vehicle meeting the insurer’s criteria, including requirements around its age, mileage, purchase price, seating capacity and use. Some versions may fall outside those rules, so always check the policy terms or get a quote to see whether cover is available for your Land Rover.
