PAYMENT PROTECTION
GAP INSURANCE
MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN INSURANCE

Payment Protection

Buying a car is a very exciting experience and financing your car is a sensible way to spread the cost. It is worth remembering that you'll be increasing your monthly financial commitments and sometimes life can take an unexpected turn. If you had an accident, fell ill or lost your job, your monthly repayments would be the last thing you want to worry about. We can offer a range of Payment Protection Plans to protect your monthly payments. You can choose your own level of cover ranging from protection against losing your keys to full cover from all of life's mishaps.
It is a sad fact that 1 in 3 men and 1 in 4 women die from heart disease in the UK. Unfortunately, if you die your dependants are responsible for meeting your payments. With life cover the cost of monthly payments, including the final payment is covered.*
Did you know that 90% of those claiming sickness or invalidity benefits do not return to work for at least 6 months. With Accident and Sickness cover monthly payments are made for up to 6 months after you fall ill.*
Nearly 700 people are made redundant every day in the UK. With involuntary unemployment cover you can have your monhtly payments coverd for up to 12 months.*
Obviously, there are exclusions to all policies, check with your sales person who will be happy to tailor a Protection Plan to your needs.

GAP Insurance

Did you know that if your newly purchased car was written off, your Insurer would only pay the current market value and not what you paid for it? If you wanted to replace your car, you would have to find the difference. Or if you had taken out a finance agreement to spread the cost of paying for your car, then you could find that the amount you receive frrom your insurer does not cover the remainder of your credit agreement. In either event you could be out of pocket. And that's where Guaranteed Asset Protection can help. There are two different types of cover: Invoice Price Protection and Finance Shortfall. Invoice Price Protection, will return you to the position you were in when you first purchased the car, if your car is written off. This type of GAP will pay the difference between the amount paid out by your insurer and the amount of your original invoice price, up to £15000. Cover is available for up to 3 years. If the car was paid for with a finance agreement and this was still outstanding the outstanding amount wuold be paid directly to the finance company and the surplus returned to you. This would leave you free to purchase amother car without the worry of any outstanding credit agreements. Finance Repayment Cover will protect your finance agreement, up to 60 months, if your car is written off through theft, fire or accident. This type of GAP will cover the difference between the amount paid out by your insurer and the mount still outstanding on your cerdit agreement, up to £5000. Again, this would leave you free to choose another car without the worry of an unpaid credit agreement.
GAP is available to anyone over 18, living in the UK, with fully comprehensive insurance. Invoice Price Protection is available to anyone whether they have a credit agreement or not. Finance Repayment GAP is only available to those with a finance agreement. Obviously there are exclusions, for example no payment would be made if the vehicle was being used as a delivery, hire or goods vehicle or if it has been used in road racing. No payments will be made if the vehicle has been modified,if the total loss is caused by the driver being intoxicated, unlicensed or under the influence of drugs; if no payment is made by the insurance company, if the total loss occured outside the UK or if the car was driven outside the UK for more than 30 days in a year. No payment will be made on any arrears relating to the finance agreement or any excess or unpaid premiums to the insurance company or on any dealer fitted options, or extras, any any amount relating to a finance agreement on any other car with may have been conoslidated.
GAP is quick and easy to arrange and can either be paid in one payment or spread throughout the coursee of your finance agreement.

MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN INSURANCE


Maintaining your car can be a costly business and there can be sudden and completely unforseen failure of any of its components. That's why we cover our vehicles with a warranty or mechanical breakdown insurance. You can choose to extend the one you receive or buy a new policy if your old one has run out. A Mechanical Breakdown Insurance is just another of products designed to give you complete peace of mind and trouble free motoring. If you keep to the conditions of the warranty, the company will cover against mechanical or electrical breakdown. You are not covered for external oil leaks, lubricants, filter elements and any damage caused by frost or lack of anti freeze, impact, accident or negligence.
If you have kept up the condiitons of your warranty, the warranty company will cover against mechanical or electrical breakdown (depending on the definitions, exclusions and conditions contained within the warranty booklet and maximum claim limit)
