Frequently Asked Questions
How does Combined RTI GAP Insurance
work?
Combined RTI GAP Insurance pays to you the difference between the
original purchase value of your car and the written off settlement
paid to you by your motor insurer or, if greater, the amount you require
to settle your finance agreement (where applicable) following your
car becoming a total loss (write off) as a result of an accident,
fire or theft.
For example, if you purchased a car for £20,000 and the primary
motor insurer paid you £11,000 following a total loss, Combined
RTI GAP Insurance would pay to you £9,000, plus any early
settlement charge on a finance agreement (where the early settlement
total is greater than the original invoice price).

policy which provides a similar cover as Combined RTI GAP Insurance
