Ooof! Watch out, that’s a steep drop! As soon as you climb into your new motor and roll off the forecourt, the value of the car starts to slide faster than your 0-60 time. Having return to invoice GAP insurance may mean your finances don’t skid off the road when your car gets written off or stolen.

Think of RTI GAP insurance as a potential financial handbrake in a nightmare situation. It may mean you’re not left footing the bill for something which you no longer own.

Why Drivers Consider Return To Invoice GAP Insurance

Cars lose value faster than you think. As soon as you take the handbrake off and put your foot on the throttle, depreciation kicks in. If your car is written off or stolen, standard car insurance typically pays out only the car’s current market value. This is often much less than you originally paid. That’s where return to invoice GAP Insurance may help provide support.

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 […]

We have firsthand experience of how confusing RTI GAP insurance can be. Being forced to spend hours completing a boring life admin task is the last thing anyone wants to do. The good news is, those days are over. Our online tools let you get signed up in minutes, and if you ever need to make a claim, we’ll guide you through making a claim; claims are handled/paid by the insurer.

Let’s put some numbers on it. A £50,000 car will shed its value straight away. Within a year, it could be worth around £35,000. If it is written off or stolen at that point, your main insurer will only pay the £35,000.

With RTI GAP insurance, you may get a £15,000 shortfall payment to cover the difference between your insurer’s payout and the original invoice price. A soft cushion during a frustrating situation.

  • If you’ve bought a car brand new, or nearly new
  • Want to avoid being out of pocket if your car is written off or stolen
  • Care about keeping your finances steady, even in unfortunate circumstances
  • Want to get back on the road as soon as possible

Generally, you need to secure RTI GAP insurance within the first 180 days of buying a new or used car. If you are considering GAP, note that the car will lose a massive chunk of money from the moment you roll off the forecourt. Don’t leave yourself vulnerable to a financial hit because you left it waiting on your to-do list. You’ll only leave yourself exposed.
