Who gets paid when you make a gap insurance claim?
Making a claim is never nice.
We like to think that you have been for a fabulous day out and come back to find a space where your car used to be, replaced with a bottle of champagne and a bumper box of chocolates. This is a nice story, but that is all it is. This is not the real world.
Instead, It will mean that you have either been in an accident in which your car sustained enough damage for your motor insurance company to deem it uneconomical to repair. Or you have been a victim of theft.
Neither scenario is something that anyone ever wants, so we feel that it is really important that you know exactly what happens when you make a claim so there are never any surprises.
After all no gap insurance policy can stop your car from being written off or you from being involved in an accident. Instead, your policy can only ever protect you in a financial capacity. So money and who gets it is really important.
Whatever level of gap insurance you have chosen, your claim will always be calculated in accordance with your terms and conditions. Any financial agreement tied to the vehicle is settled first, and then any balance of funds is sent to you in most cases. (Read more - Do you need to be the registered keeper for Gap Insurance to be effective?)
We feel that it is really important that you receive the funds as this now puts you back in the driving seat, deciding where and on what your money is spent on.
With this in mind, you will be pleased to know that we NEVER
- Pay a pet dealer or garage
- Replace your car
- Source a vehicle on your behalf.
After the stress of the scenario that made you make a claim, the last thing we would ever want is to attempt to dictate how you should spend your own money.
The devil, as always, is in the detail, so we would request that you are comparing levels of cover, either from ourselves, competitors or perhaps even your own garage that you not only consider the price that you have been quoted but also other factors such as how and to whom any settlement is made.
For more information about how to make a claim and how your claim is dealt with, please see your policy documents.

Quick simple process, appreciate note about 12 month vehicle replacement may be covered on my insurance already, it was.
I called to clarify a couple of things before purchasing and spoke to a lady called Jackie, very pleasant and extremely helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend GAP 123.
Great service, very friendly call handler

VERY EASY TO USE AND COMPLETE. EXCELLANT PRICE HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Very quick an easy, but the only slight disappointment is that is no where to get your existing customer discount on the web site. You have to phone for that and if you need the cover to start at the weekend you miss out. Shame.
