GAP Insurance GAP Insurance

In the event of your vehicle being declared a write-off by your Insurance Company because of theft or an accident, there is likely to be a shortfall between the vehicle's current market value and the original purchase price. This is RTV (Return To Value) Gap Insurance.

The shortfall could be a significant sum depending on the rate of depreciation of your vehicle. RTV will bridge this gap.

Who is it for?

Customers obtaining vehicles by any method where they have the option to take ownership of the vehicle, such as those customers financing the purchase of their vehicle using Hire Purchase, Lease Purchase, PCP or cash. Designed for customers wishing to retain as much equity as possible in the event of a valid claim.

Example

A customer buys a BMW 3 Series Saloon for £15,000, with a deposit of £1,000 and finances the remainder. 18 months later the car is involved in an accident and is written off. The insurance company settles £11,200, but now the customer is £3,800 out of pocket !! The AA Return to Value GAP Insurance plan will pay the £3,800 shortfall between the Insurance Company payout and the original value of the vehicle less any extra items.

Why do I need Return to Value Gap?

In the UK car crime is a third of all crime; a vehicle is stolen every minute with a third never being recovered. A sad fact is that over 500,000 vehicles become a total loss each year.

Motor Insurance settles the depreciated value, not the amount you originally paid.

From the second you start driving your car it's depreciating.

Insurance Companies depreciate cars by up to 77% over a three year period.
