6. What is Gap Insurance?
Should you ever be unfortunate enough to have the car stolen or written off the insurance payment may not cover the amount outstanding on your finance agreement. This is because insurance companies tend to make payments based on the current market value of the car excluding any finance arrangements.
GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) Insurance does exactly what it says – it bridges the “gap” between the insurance payout and the settlement figure.

There is no difference between us and a car dealer. We can supply all dealer and manufacturer fitted accessories. Some accessories carry a residual value and so your monthly payments not increase as much as you expect when added.
