Bridge the gap: extra protection for you and your car

Retail Price Protection Insurance, often described as GAP insurance, is designed to work alongside your comprehensive motor insurance.

How it works

If your car is stolen or written off in an accident, your motor insurance company will usually offer a total loss settlement based on the vehicle’s current market value. In many cases, this amount may be less than the price you originally paid for the vehicle.

Retail Price Protection (RPP) Insurance is designed to help bridge this gap. In the event of a total loss, it can provide a payment to help cover the difference between your motor insurer’s settlement and the original invoice price of your vehicle, subject to the policy terms and conditions.

RPP Insurance is supplementary insurance and does not replace your standard motor insurance policy.

Key benefits of Retail Price Protection Insurance

  • In the event of a total loss, the policy will pay the greater of:

    • the shortfall between your motor insurer’s settlement and your vehicle’s original invoice price
    • the early settlement amount with your finance provider
    • or the premium paid for this insurance
  • A contribution of up to £750 towards your motor insurance excess

  • An Inconvenience Support Payment of:

    • up to £1,500 for vehicles with an original invoice price of £25,000 or more
    • up to £1,000 for vehicles with an original invoice price under £25,000

This inconvenience payment is designed to help with the additional costs and disruption of being without your vehicle following a total loss, such as temporary transport or other related expenses.

Cover also includes factory fitted options and dealer fitted options (up to policy limits). Full details are set out in the policy documentation.
