Over the last few years the process of developing GapInsurance123 into one of the leading names in the UK independent market has depended on one crucial aspect - listening to our customers. This has enabled us to not only tweak our systems and products, but also plan for new ventures in the furture. Time and time again we were asked about additional products such as Alloy Wheel Insurance, Cosmetic Repair Insurance and possibly most often about Tyre Insurance. These products are often provided by motor dealers alongside Gap Insurance, so perhaps it was only natural that consumers would look for a direct comparison with the products they were being offered at the dealers.
Like Gap Insurance, Tyre Insurance can be provided by a number of insurers but they often carry caviats. A number of these have been raised and recognised in the feedback we have received from consumers. Whilst it would have been easy just to pick an off the shelf product there were certain aspects that our company, Aequitas Automotive Ltd, wanted to ensure were in place before we committed to provide a Tyre Insurance product.
Now the process has been completed and GapInsurance123 would like to welcome a new sibling into our fold,
TyreInsurance123.co.uk.
So what makes TyreInsurance123 different to other Tyre Insurance products in the market?
Now we have to be fair here, we actually think that most of the tyre insurance products in the market today are actually very good in their nature. However they nearly all contain one particular requirement:
In order to buy a Tyre Insurance product you have to buy another product too, normally Gap Insurance. This means you have to be an existing customer of that brand, or buy your Gap Insurance policy at the same time.
We did not like the idea of this, so
with TyreInsurance123 there is no requirement to buy a Gap Insurance policy, or any other kind of policy for that matter, in order to buy the tyre insurance product from us. You can make a totally independent decision on the tyre insurance policy as a 'stand alone' product.
However, this factor alone does not make TyreInsurance123 the only UK brand in this market that allows this. We should know because we own and operate Shortfall.co.uk, which also allows you to purchase a 'stand alone' tyre insurance product, with no secondary product purchase requirement. Having two independent products in the same market also allows us to compare your requirements carefully against both our brands, this allows us to provide the very best solution for your circumstance. Unique? We certainly think so!
Our company is not bound, or tied to one particular insurer, and this again allows us to persue the very best features for our customers. We feel this gives the freedom of choice that we have always tried to offer our customers.
