Following this trend, we believe great deals should be found in insurance - not just the cars you buy. At Direct Gap we offer the best terms for the best prices. So, how does gap insurance work? We provide several core models for Gap Insurance in the UK.

With our Finance/Contract Hire Gap Insurance and our Return to Invoice Gap Insurance we pay the difference between the outstanding finance balance, or the original purchase price, and the motor insurers settlement.

And with our Vehicle Replacement Policy, in the event of a vehicle being declared a total loss or stolen, Direct Gap will pay the difference between the motor insurers settlement and the cost of a replacement vehicle matching the original vehicle specification.

With offers covering tyre insurance, scratch and dent insurance, and alloy wheel insurance, at Direct Gap we ensure your car is protected - at the best price, without sacrificing the best of insurance coverage.
