Volkswagen ID4 Gap Insurance
Buy 5* Rated Gap Insurance With A 30 Day Money Back Guarantee
As an all-electric SUV, the ID4 is perfect for everyday use, offering plenty of space and an ideal car for family drivers. Unfortunately, like most cars, it’s still susceptible to depreciation, meaning it will lose value while you drive it.
If your VW is written off or declared a total loss, you could face a significant shortfall, as your insurer will pay out the value of your car at the time, not the amount you paid or still owe. That could be a significant difference, often into £££’s.
At Direct Gap, we provide specialised Volkswagen ID4 Gap Insurance, which can protect against that shortfall. We’ll pay the difference between your insurance settlement figure and the amount outstanding on your car, making sure you’re not left out of pocket.

Why choose Direct Gap to protect your Volkswagen?
What is Volkswagen Gap Insurance?
Following a write-off, Volkswagen gap insurance covers any difference between your motor insurance settlement figure and the amount you paid for your vehicle, or any outstanding finance, depending on the policy you choose. Typically, the 'current market value' (the amount your insurer pays) is much lower than the vehicle's purchase or finance price, due to depreciation.

How does Volkswagen Gap Insurance work?
With new ID4’s running up to £54,000 and the average depreciation level of 50% within the first three years of ownership, drivers like you could stand to lose up to £27,000 in value. If yours is declared a total loss (where your insurer deems it beyond repair or recovery, following an accident or theft, for example), then they’ll pay you the current market value, not the amount you still owe or paid, leaving you to make up the rest.
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.
Our specialist Gap Insurance pays the difference between your settlement figure and the amount you still owe.
