Volkswagen GAP Insurance
Volkswagen GAP Insurance is vital if you are looking to protect your latest investment.
Volkswagen, which translated into English means the "people's car," has a reputation for developing likeable cars that appeal to a wide demographic of motorists. With a reputation for crafting appealing cars, Volkswagen has solidified its position as a beloved automotive brand.
At MotorEasy, Our VW GAP Insurance is designed to offer a level of protection that goes beyond your standard policy. If you value your Volkswagen, it’s worth considering the limitations of your insurance policy. How much will your insurer pay out if your VW is written off or stolen?
Why do I need Volkswagen GAP insurance?
Often, standard insurance policies pay the current market value of a car rather than the original purchase price. So, in the worst-case scenario, you may find you'll need a significant sum of money on top of your insurance pay-out just to replace your car with a new model.
New cars typically depreciate very rapidly. In fact, your car’s value usually starts to plummet the moment you drive it off the showroom forecourt. After three years the value of a new car will typically have depreciated by 60%, meaning a £25,000 VW Golf could be worth £10,000 three years after purchase.
Picture this: You're driving along in your Volkswagen, enjoying the open road. But what if your beloved VW is declared a total loss due to an accident or theft? Here's where Volkswagen GAP insurance steps in. It’s likely that the insurance claim would be based on current market value. This would leave you £15,000 short of the sum required to buy a like-for-like replacement.
This is precisely why Volkswagen GAP insurance is essential. It offers invaluable protection, covering the difference between your insurance payout and the amount needed to replace your Volkswagen with a new model.
Does GAP Insurance cover car theft?
When you think of a written-off car, you’re probably picturing a vehicle that’s been irreparably damaged in an accident. But accidents aren’t the only cause. Theft also accounts for many write-offs every year. MotorEasy’s Gap Insurance has you covered.
In fact, statistics show that the threat of car theft is increasing. 112,174 motor vehicles were stolen in the UK in 2017/18, which is the equivalent of 307 every day. Sadly, that figure also represents a significant increase on previous years and the continuation of a 50% upsurge in car theft over the last five years. This alarming trend highlights the pressing need for adequate GAP Insurance coverage.
What do I get with MotorEasy?
MotorEasy’s VW GAP Insurance takes care of this shortfall. It’s designed to cover the difference between the amount your standard insurance policy pays out and the figure you’d need to buy a new like-for-like replacement giving you complete peace of mind. You can learn more in our GAP Insurance guide.
The importance of GAP cover becomes even more apparent if you're financing your Volkswagen through a leasing arrangement or PCP financing. Both could leave you exposed to considerable debt in the event of a write-off.
Available for all cars up to 8 years old (or with up to 70,000 miles on the clock), MotorEasy’s GAP Insurance represents a smart, easy, and affordable way to remove these risks and enjoy your Volkswagen.
