Honda GAP Insurance

Honda GAP Insurance is vital in the unfortunate event of your Honda being written off. Your average motor insurer will compensate you based on what they estimate the vehicle to be worth at the time of the loss, frequently referred to as the "Market Value".

The primary aim of GAP insurance is to supplement the payout from your motor insurer, ensuring you receive a more substantial sum. The particular type of GAP insurance you hold determines this top-up amount, which could be the settlement figure of your finance agreement, the initial invoice price you purchased the vehicle for, or even the cost of acquiring a new identical model at the time of the claim.

How does Honda Gap Insurance work?

GAP Insurance acts as a protection, granting additional protection to increase your insurer's payout. Given the expected depreciation of your Honda's value, especially within the initial three years, it's fundamental to consider the potential financial gap. For instance, a Honda CR-V purchased for £35,000 may depreciate to £14,000 after three years, leaving you with a significant £21,000 shortfall.

Why do I need Honda Gap Insurance?

If you take pride in your Honda, protecting your car and financing should be a top priority, making GAP insurance an essential addition for added protection.

Have you considered the potential payout from your insurance if your car were to be written off? It's fundamental to consider whether it would be sufficient to cover the cost of a new like-for-like replacement.

Unfortunately, in many cases, it might not be. Facing the reality that almost half a million cars are confirmed write-offs in the UK each year, it's crucial to understand the limitations of your existing insurance policy. This is remarkably critical as many motorists discover their standard insurance falls short of what's needed to replace their car. Why? Depreciation. In fact, the value of a new car starts to decline the moment you drive it away from the dealership.

Over three years, your car's value could plummet by as much as 60%. Imagine purchasing a brand-new Honda Kona for £25,000, only to find its value reduced to £10,000 three years later due to a 60% depreciation rate. Consequently, in the unfortunate event of a write-off, your insurer may provide a £10,000 payout, leaving you to cover the remaining £15,000 to replace your car with the same model.
