ŠKODA Gap Insurance has been designed to help if your vehicle is written off through accidental or malicious damage, fire or theft. Whether you purchase, finance, lease or hire your vehicle, our Gap Insurance will give you the financial protection your ŠKODA deserves.
ŠKODA Gap Insurance and ŠKODA Gap Insurance Plus are administered by Car Care Plan Limited and underwritten by Motors Insurance Company Limited.
If your ŠKODA is written off, your motor insurer will usually pay out based on the current market value of your vehicle. This could be a lot less than its original value and therefore may leave you with an unexpected shortfall.
Our Gap Insurance helps to cover the gap left by this shortfall to get you back in a new ŠKODA or help pay off any outstanding finance, lease or hire agreement.
ŠKODA Gap Insurance can be purchased up to 100 days after you have collected your new or used vehicle.
ŠKODA Gap Insurance
This pays the difference between the write off settlement from your motor insurer and the price you paid for your ŠKODA or the outstanding balance payable to the finance company, whichever is the greater amount.
If your vehicle is leased or hired, we will cover the difference between the write off settlement from your motor insurer and the early termination charge. This includes any rentals paid in advance as a deposit.
Cover lasts for 36 months and the maximum claim limit is based on your vehicle purchase price.
In the above example, you could receive a £6,000 payment that you could use towards the purchase of a new ŠKODA.
ŠKODA Gap Insurance Plus
In addition to all the benefits of ŠKODA Gap Insurance, the ŠKODA Gap Insurance Plus policy includes a 12-month fixed benefit. This will start once your 36-month Gap Insurance cover ends.
If your vehicle is written off during the additional 12-month fixed benefit period of insurance, we will pay a fixed sum of £2,500.
Features and Benefits
ŠKODA Gap Insurance and ŠKODA Gap Insurance Plus give you the financial protection your vehicle deserves. So you can relax knowing that if you need to make a claim, we could help you get back into a replacement ŠKODA.
