Hey im looking into the option of gap insurance before my 180 days comes up. What are people going for and what would you class as a best option and why? The Vehicle Replacement Gap or the Finance Gap Insurance. Obviously in a total loss Vehicle replacement covers for a new car and Finance will cover all existing finance. Cheers Guys.

GAP Insurance has been extensively covered with respect to options. But perhaps current policy issuer's prices needs a run round............

As mordred has mentioned, there is a lot of room for haggling when it comes to GAP. Make sure you take some internet quotes into the details if you go down that route.

I got mine for £200 from my dealer. I'd had a look around previously & that was around what it would cost elsewhere, so I was happy.

I got mine for £200 from my dealer too, after he tried to sell it to me for £400. All i did was tell him i had seen it for £200 on the internet and he said he would match it. Job done.
I can rely on my car, it's my Roc!!!
