SEAT GAP Insurance
Seat GAP Insurance is vital to protect your new car, whether it's a sporty or family car, MotorEasy has you covered.
Spain’s biggest car brand has been on the up ever since Volkswagen bought the company back in the 80s. Today’s SEAT range bears all the hallmarks of a VW subsidiary. Smart, understated styling, excellent build quality and appealing performance characteristics.
The range covers most bases, from nippy, low-cost city car (the Mii) to burly but brisk SUV (the Tarraco). Perennial SEAT mainstays include the Ibiza, a fun, affordable hatchback, and the Toledo, a spacious and comfortable family saloon.
Why do I need SEAT GAP Insurance?
Our SEAT GAP Insurance offers a level of protection that goes beyond your standard policy. You can learn more in our GAP Insurance guide.
If you value your SEAT, it’s worth considering the limitations of your insurance. Consider the payout your insurer offers in case of vehicle write-off or theft. Often, standard insurance policies pay the current market value of a car and not the original purchase price.
This is because depreciation invariably causes your car to drop in value. 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 £30,000 SEAT Alhambra could be worth £12,000 three years after purchase.
Now let’s imagine that three-year-old Alhambra is written off (or stolen). The insurance claim would likely be based on current market value, which would leave you £18,000 short of the sum required to buy a like-for-like replacement.
How much does SEAT GAP Insurance cost?
The cost of GAP Insurance for SEATs will depend on your age and the model you drive. With MotorEasy, it’s up to 75% cheaper than purchasing through a dealer or lender.
What do I get with MotorEasy?
MotorEasy’s SEAT GAP Insurance takes care of this shortfall. It’s designed to bridge 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. It gives you complete peace of mind.
The case for GAP cover is even stronger if you’re paying for your car with a leasing arrangement or PCP financing. This could leave you exposed to considerable debt in the event of a write-off.
You also get added bonuses such as:
- FREE MotorEasy account with access to all your car’s details, documents, important reminders, and motoring offers
- Up to £1000 in motor insurance excesses covered
- Optional extras and accessories covered (where factory or dealer fitted) Covers European road trips
- Savings on MotorEasy maintenance and repairs
Available for all cars up to 8 years old (or with up to 70,000 miles on the clock), MotorEasy GAP Insurance represents a smart, easy, and affordable way to remove these risks and enjoy your SEAT.
GAP Insurance car theft cover with MotorEasy
GAP Insurance bridges the gap between the amount your insurer pays out and the sum you need to replace your car in the event of a write-off. But what constitutes a write-off and is it worth protecting yourself against it? Sadly, write-offs are more common than many motorists imagine. Indeed, over half a million cars are written off every year.
While many write-offs are caused by accidental damage our GAP Insurance also covers you against car theft, which accounts for many write-offs every year. In fact, statistics show that the threat of car theft is on the rise.
112,174 motor vehicles were stolen in the UK in 2017/18, that’s the equivalent of 307 every day. Sadly, that figure also represents a significant increase on previous years and the continuation of a 50% jump in car theft over the last five years. Car theft is on the rise, and it makes sense to ensure you’re properly protected.
