When you become a Dacia owner in the UK, you join a community of drivers who value affordability, practicality, and simplicity.
Dacia is a Romanian car manufacturer that was sold to the Renault Group in 1999.
Dacia has carved a unique niche in the UK market with its range of budget-friendly vehicles that don't compromise on quality or reliability.
Dacia's ethos of delivering functional, no-nonsense cars has resonated with many UK drivers, making it a popular choice for those seeking value for money. However, owning any car, including a Dacia, comes with financial risks if the vehicle is ever written off. That's where GAPInsurance123 steps in, offering comprehensive GAP Insurance options for Dacia vehicles.
Dacia has significantly impacted the UK with its range of affordable, no-frills vehicles. The brand's straightforward approach to car manufacturing has appealed to many UK drivers, focusing on providing the essentials without unnecessary extras. From the compact Dacia Sandero to the robust Dacia Duster, Dacia offers a range of models to suit different lifestyles and budgets.
Let's explore some of the popular Dacia models currently available in the UK.
The Dacia Sandero, often touted as the UK's most affordable car, is a compact hatchback that offers practicality and simplicity. Despite its budget-friendly price tag, the Sandero doesn't skimp on essentials, offering a spacious interior, efficient engines, and a comfortable ride.
The Dacia Duster is a sturdy and versatile SUV that offers excellent value for money. With its rugged design, spacious interior, and capable performance, the Duster is equally at home on city streets or country roads.
The Dacia Logan MCV is a budget-friendly estate car that offers an impressive amount of space. With its large boot and roomy interior, the Logan MCV is ideal for families or anyone needing to transport large items.
An impressive 7-seater SUV that was awarded The Best Family Car by AutoCar in 2023.
At GAPInsurance123, we understand the importance of protecting your investment in your Dacia vehicle. We offer a range of comprehensive GAP Insurance options for Dacia cars, whether you've purchased a new or used model.
Let's explore these options.
Lease GAP Insurance is designed for lease agreements where you cannot own the vehicle at the end of the finance agreement. If your leased Dacia is written off during your agreement, you are responsible for paying off the lease settlement. Lease GAP Insurance helps cover any shortfall between the motor insurer settlement amount and the outstanding lease settlement or early termination charge.
Combination Return to Invoice GAP Insurance covers the difference between the market value of your Dacia and either the original invoice price or the outstanding finance settlement, whichever is higher. This option is commonly offered by Dacia GAP Insurance by participating Dacia retailers.
Combined Vehicle Replacement Insurance pays the difference between the current market value of your Dacia if your motor insurance company writes off the car, and either the cost of replacing the vehicle with an equivalent model, the original purchase price or the finance settlement, whichever is higher. This option ensures you can get back on the road with a comparable Dacia model in case of a write-off.
There are several advantages to choosing GAPInsurance123 when selecting GAP Insurance for your Dacia:
1. Cost Savings: By opting for GAP Insurance from GAPInsurance123, you can enjoy significant cost savings compared to main dealership policies. This can be achieved by paying lower Insurance premium tax rates and the low commission level business model employed by GAPInsurance123.
2. Tailored Coverage Options: We believe in providing flexibility and choice to our customers.
Our range of coverage options allows you to select the level of GAP protection you need.
We recognise that every Dacia owner is unique and aim to ensure you have the right coverage for your vehicle.
3. Comprehensive Protection: At GAPInsurance123, we provide comprehensive coverage options that go beyond standard protection. We understand the importance of looking after your investment and offer feature-rich policies to give you peace of mind in unforeseen circumstances.
4. Award winning Customer Support : We pride ourselves on providing support and guidance throughout the process, from obtaining a quote to securing your GAP Insurance policy.
Often GAP Insurance provides additional benefits and features when you make a claim. Motor insurer's excess - The settlement provided by motor insurers often sees an excess deduction taken once they have written off your motor vehicle. GAP Insurance can often offer further cover for this motor insurance excess deduction.
Cover for the vehicle used abroad - if you choose to use your car abroad, then your GAPInsurance123 policy can cover you for up to 90 days per year of cover. This is as long as it is within the 'territorial limits' defined in the policy terms. European Union cover included in your policy is in addition to the 'green' international motor insurance card.
Obtaining a quote and securing GAP Insurance for your Dacia is a straightforward process with GAPInsurance123. Visit our website or call us at 0800 195 4926 to get started.
The aim is to help you choose the right coverage and provide a personalised quote based on your purchase and requirements.
We will only need some basic information from you to provide a quote. This will include eligibility information on the vehicle use, how you have secured the vehicle, vehicle age etc. We will need the value of your car to insure (the original invoice price), the monthly lease payment, and how long you want to cover.
It is as simple as that.
