Skoda GAP Insurance

Skoda has been building cars since 1895 and selling them here for decades, and a Fabia still loses value the moment it leaves the forecourt. Skoda GAP insurance, arranged by Insureworks and underwritten by specialist insurers, may help reduce the financial impact of that depreciation.

Skoda Models Our Insurers Can Cover

Skoda has been building cars since 1895 and selling them here for decades, and our insurers can offer Skoda GAP insurance from Fabia and Octavia hatchbacks to Karoq and Kodiaq SUVs and the electric Enyaq. Whether you paid in full, chose PCP, signed a lease agreement or found a used Skoda with a few miles already behind it, 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 Skoda 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.

Skoda Fabia, Citigo

Small hatchbacks that quietly get on with it. First cars, city runabouts and sensible second cars.

Skoda Octavia, Superb, Scala

Hatchbacks, estates and saloons bought by drivers who wanted space without paying for a badge.

Skoda Kamiq, Karoq

Compact SUVs for drivers who wanted an Octavia but fancied sitting a little higher up.

Skoda Kodiaq

Seven-seat family SUVs built for full boots, longer journeys and drivers who use every seat.

Skoda Enyaq, Elroq

Skoda's fully electric range, wearing the same badge with the engine noise taken out.

Choose The Right Skoda GAP Insurance For You

Whether your Skoda is a brand-new Kodiaq or a Fabia that has already covered a few thousand miles, 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. Which policy suits you depends on how you bought the car and what you would like the cover to protect.

New & Used

Straight off the forecourt, or a few years in?

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, priced from £5,000.

Petrol & Diesel

Sensible Skoda motoring, depreciation and all.

GAP could help reduce the financial impact if an eligible vehicle is written off or stolen, subject to the policy terms and the claim limit shown in your schedule. Skoda is rated non-prestige by the underwriter.

Hybrids

Battery helps, engine does the miles.

For hybrid versions of models such as the Octavia and Superb, Skoda GAP insurance could help protect the eligible invoice price paid for the vehicle, subject to the terms and limits set out in your policy.

Fully Electric

Enyaq and Elroq, no engine noise.

GAP could help cover an eligible difference between your insurer's settlement and the original invoice price. On PCP and cash purchases, electric vehicles are covered up to a £50,000 price. Lease and contract hire have no such restriction.

GAP Insurance for Skoda

Skoda has been building cars since 1895 and selling them here for decades, and whichever Skoda ends up on your driveway, it shares one thing with every other car on the road: depreciation. A car bought new can be worth noticeably less within a year, and a standard motor policy pays the market value on the day of the claim rather than the price on the invoice. Skoda GAP insurance is designed to help with that difference, subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions and limits of the policy, and to the claim limit shown in your schedule.

Why Use Insureworks To Arrange Skoda GAP Insurance

Insureworks arranges Skoda GAP cover underwritten by specialist insurers, and the eligibility rules sit on the page rather than buried in a document. Your Skoda needs to be under ten years old, bought within the last 180 days, and invoiced between £5,000 and £125,000. Electric models are covered to £50,000 on PCP and cash purchases. Vehicles previously declared a total loss, and vehicles on motor trade insurance, are not eligible at all. We would rather you knew that before starting a quote than after. This page is information, not advice, and no assessment of whether the cover suits your circumstances is made here.

How Skoda GAP Insurance Works

Your Skoda is written off or stolen, and it is time to make a Skoda GAP insurance claim on the policy.
Your motor insurer pays the market value, which is what the car is worth today rather than what you paid.
If your Skoda GAP claim is accepted, GAP may top that up towards the agreed level, depending on the policy terms.
You get back on the road. The payout may help you replace the Skoda or clear the outstanding finance agreement.

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 […]

Skoda GAP Insurance FAQs

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

GAP is not a legal requirement, but drivers often consider it when leasing. If a leased Skoda is written off or stolen, there may still be an amount due under the finance agreement after your motor insurer has paid out. GAP may help cover some or all of that shortfall, depending on the policy terms. Contract hire and lease agreements also carry no electric vehicle price restriction.

Your Skoda needs to be no more than ten years old when you apply, bought within the last 180 days, with an invoice price between £5,000 and £125,000. Electric Skoda models are covered up to £50,000 on PCP and cash purchases. Cars previously written off, and vehicles on motor trade insurance, are not eligible. There is no mileage limit on the policy. Vehicles used as taxis, for driving lessons, hire, courier work, racing or off-road driving are also excluded.

No. Skoda is rated non-prestige by the underwriter, which is the lower of the two pricing tiers, so a Skoda costs less to cover than a car from a prestige make. Electric models are rated separately and carry the £50,000 vehicle price limit on PCP and cash purchases.

If your Skoda is stolen or written off, GAP insurance may help cover some or all of the difference between your motor insurer’s payout and what you originally paid, or what you still owe on finance. What applies to you is set by the policy terms and the claim limit shown in your schedule, so both are worth reading. If your motor insurer does not settle the claim, the GAP policy will not pay out either.
