Ford Focus Gap Insurance

Buy 5* Rated Gap Insurance With A 30 Day Money Back Guarantee

Now one of the cornerstones of British motoring, the Ford Focus has seen plenty of evolution since its debut in 1998. Delivering the perfect mix of ‘all-round’ usability and fun, the Focus is frequently topping ‘Best Car’ lists. That said, like most cars, it can still depreciate, which could put you at financial risk.

If your Focus is written off (otherwise known as a ‘total loss’), your insurance payout will reflect the current market value, not the amount you paid or still owe, leaving you to make up the difference. Thanks to depreciation, that amount could be thousands.

Specialist Ford Gap Insurance protects you against any financial shortfall. We’ll pay the difference between your insurance settlement figure and the amount outstanding, so you’re not left out of pocket.

How does Ford Gap Insurance work?

Although the Focus is one of Ford’s more affordable models, retail prices can still reach £44,000. With a typical depreciation of 50% in just three years, that means you could lose up to £22,000 of your car's value.

With a car being declared a total loss every 90 seconds in the UK, it’s no surprise that a growing number of drivers are choosing to protect themselves with Direct Gap.

Tailored Ford Gap Insurance pays the difference between your insurance settlement figure and the amount you still owe.

What Types Of Gap Insurance Are Suitable For Ford

There are three common types of GAP Insurance available for most cars, including Ford. Which is most suitable typically depends on your finance type, car ownership status and individual cover needs.

The main types of Ford Gap Insurance we provide are:

  • Lease & Contract Hire Gap Insurance: Lease & Contract Hire Gap Insurance pays the difference between your motor insurance settlement figure and the amount outstanding on your lease finance balance. This policy is suitable for lease or 'PCH' cars only.
  • Return To Invoice Gap Insurance: Return To Invoice, or 'RTI' as it's also known, pays the difference between your motor insurance settlement figure and the original invoice price of your vehicle.
  • Vehicle Replacement: Vehicle Replacement Insurance, or 'VRI' covers the difference between your motor insurance settlement and the cost of replacing your vehicle.
