In the event of the total loss of the insured vehicle, we will pay a maximum benefit equal to the difference between your motor insurance settlement and the original retail price of the insured vehicle, or if greater and the amount you require to pay your early settlement amount. This insurance will also contribute to the excess deducted by your motor insurer.*

You’ve insured your car, but what if it’s written off or stolen? Your motor insurer pays the current market value — which is often much less than what you originally paid or still owe on finance.
That’s where we step in!
GAP stands for Guaranteed Asset Protection. It covers the difference between what your motor insurer will pay if your vehicle is written off or stolen, and what you originally paid for the vehicle or what you still owe on finance.
GAP insurance compliments your motor insurance. Your comprehensive policy would only pay the current market value of your car — not what you originally paid or owe on finance. GAP insurance fills that gap so you’re not left out of pocket.
Here are the features and benefits of our GAP insurance:
The cost of GAP Insurance varies based on the vehicle’s value and the duration of your finance agreement, with policies typically ranging from £35.55 to £397.82 for multi-year coverage.
Return to Invoice covers the amount by which the original invoice price of the vehicle exceeds the comprehensive motor insurer’s settlement at the time of the total loss.
You can submit a claim via our Customer Care Portal which allows you to quickly submit your claim and track its progress.

When it comes to protecting your car, there’s a lot of confusion about what GAP insurance actually does. Many drivers assume their standard motor insurance will cover them fully if their car is written off or stolen — but that’s often not the case. Let’s clear up the top 3 myths about GAP insurance once and for all.
Myth 1: “I don’t need GAP insurance because I already have comprehensive cover.”
The truth:
Comprehensive car insurance only pays your vehicle’s current market value at the time of loss — not what you originally paid for it. Cars lose value quickly. In fact, most new cars depreciate by up to 60% in three years. So, if your £22,000 car is written off two years later, your insurer might only pay around £15,000. That leaves a £7,000 gap, and that’s exactly what GAP insurance covers.
In short:
Your car insurance covers what your car is worth today. GAP insurance covers the difference, so you’re not left paying the price of depreciation
Myth 2: “GAP insurance is only for brand-new cars.”
The truth:
While it’s especially valuable for new cars (which depreciate fastest), GAP insurance can also protect:
If your vehicle still holds significant value, or you owe more than its current worth, GAP insurance can make a huge difference. Even a 2-year-old car can lose thousands of pounds in value each year, leaving a significant shortfall if it’s written off.
Myth 3: “GAP insurance is expensive and not worth it.”
The truth:
Direct GAP insurance is often far cheaper than the policies sold by dealerships — sometimes saving you up to 70%. And when you consider that GAP cover can protect you from losing thousands, the value is clear. It’s a small, one-off cost for major financial peace of mind.
The Bottom Line
GAP insurance isn’t complicated, it’s simply about protecting the investment you’ve already made. If your car is stolen or written off, it ensures you’re not left covering the difference between your insurer’s payout and what you still owe or originally paid. With GardX Assure, you can get a quick quote online in under 2 minutes and see exactly how much protection costs — no jargon, no hidden fees.
