Combined Gap And Rti Insureance
How Combined Gap And Rti Works
Combined GAP and RTI incorporates Return to Invoice cover (or RTI) and Finance Guaranteed Asset Protection (or Finance GAP). RTI is designed to pay-out any difference between the settlement made by your motor insurance company and the price you originally paid for the vehicle.
If your vehicle is written off, Finance GAP pays the difference between the settlement made by your motor insurance company and the amount you still owe on your finance agreement.
Combined GAP and RTI covers you however you paid for the vehicle and will pay-out the greater of the Finance GAP or RTI amount, up to the purchase price of the vehicle. However, there are specific exclusions.
How Return to Invoice (RTI) works
Example.
You pay £18,500 for your vehicle. Your vehicle is written off. Your motor insurance company pay-out is £12,000. An RTI pay-out of £6,500 tops it up to the price you originally paid.
How Finance Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) works
Example.
You pay £18,500 for your vehicle. Your vehicle is written off. Your motor insurance company pays out £12,000 but you still owe £19,200 on your finance agreement. A Finance GAP pay-out of £7,200 makes up the difference.
