Back To Invoice GAP Insurance
Summary
 
Why do I need Back To Invoice GAP Insurance?
It is a sad fact that vehicle related crime represents a significant percentage of all reported crime in the UK. How often have You heard of people who have had their vehicle stolen or written off and have not been able to replace their vehicle with another of a similar value?

This is because at the time of loss You will only be entitled to receive the current market value of Your Vehicle from Your insurance company, not what You paid for it.

How Back To Invoice GAP Insurance cover helps You.
In the event of Your Vehicle being written off through accidental damage, fire or theft, Back To Invoice GAP Insurance will cover the difference between Your original Purchase Price* and the amount You receive from Your insurance company (less any excess).
