I have used Direct Gap several times. The website is very clear and easy to use. The price is competitive. I have never had to claim so I can't comment on that aspect.

Nice and simple to purchase, and at a great price as well. Main dealer wanted £399, whereas DirectGAP wanted £139. I’d have been mad not to go for this policy over the dealerships…
