As mentioned above, we have access to a number of underwriters' products through our company.
We do not sign one exclusive agreement with one underwriter.
We think that this puts us in the unique position of being able to offer choice.
One size does not fit all and having a choice of underwriters as well as policies helps us cherry-pick the most appropriate policy for you and the best deal we can.
Each underwriter will have slightly different terms and conditions so by having more than one we can hopefully offer a policy that suits you and your circumstance instead of trying to shoehorn you into a policy that may not have all of the features you want.
It also helps us drive the very best deal on premiums and features with insurers who want our business.
That value is passed to our customers.
We understand that marketing is important for any brand. However, we will not pay for any endorsement from any company unless we see it adds value to our customers. We know many of our rivals may appear to be 'recommended' by any number of well-known companies. What is less well known is that a commercial arrangement exists between a GAP Insurance provider and the company 'recommending' us. These commercial recommendations and ratings only add to costs unnecessarily, in our view. These costs would be added to the premiums you pay.
Some of the companies providing these 'recommendations' are not even registered with the FCA. This hardly puts them in a position to pass comments, in our opinion. We understand some of our rivals may not agree with our stance, which is fine. It is just not a route for us.
Over the years GAPInsurance123 has appeared on websites like Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert, Honest John and Which?, as well as many car owners and enthusiasts forums like Pistonheads. All of these have been unpaid features and mentions.
We do pay for an independent expert to collate reviews on our services. We think this does add value to our customers and ourselves, and we display these on our website.
We are the first to recognise the value of the big comparison websites.
The likes of MoneySupermarket, Confused.com and GoCompare already currently offer GAP Insurance facilities.
However, the fees and/or commissions that the websites take from the sales of the products are just too high in our view.
We cannot see, at the cost levels they are, how this adds to the value for a customer.
Again, these costs would only have to be added to the premiums we would have to charge our customers.
We completely understand others may disagree, but for now we feel we can continue offering better value by staying off comparison websites and passing saving directly to you.
