I bought GAP insurance for my BMW iX3 for 4 years to match my PCP term. We’ve had to use GAP insurance previously (my husband needed it), so I didn’t want to take the risk of being without it this time. Everything was simple to set up online and the documents arrived via email.

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

GAP is not a legal requirement, but some drivers often consider BMW GAP insurance when leasing a car. If your leased car is written off or stolen, there may still be an amount due under your finance agreement after your motor insurer’s payout. Paying for a car that is sitting in the scrapyard is not usually an ideal scenario. GAP may help cover some or all of that shortfall, depending on the policy terms.
