Are you making the most of GAP insurance as a dealer?

BNP Paribas Cardif Limited is a specialist in the field, with more than 20 years’ experience of the UK automotive market.

It has an in-house team of highly skilled and trained motor experts who design, develop and administer industry-leading GAP insurance, providing a great revenue stream for dealerships.


Guaranteed Asset Protection insurance – to give it its full name – is a safety net for your customers if their vehicle is stolen or written off as a total loss, as it covers the cost left behind by the motor insurance as a result of vehicle depreciation.

There are a number of different types of product and cover, and here, BNP Paribas Cardif Ltd takes us through them, highlighting the specific features that makes them such an important upsell for dealers.

MODELS OF GAP INSURANCE


Return to Invoice GAP: This insurance product covers the difference between the motor insurer’s total loss settlement offer and the original invoice price of the vehicle.

Return to Invoice (RTI) & Finance Shortfall GAP
This combination product pays the higher amount of:
• the difference between the motor insurer’s total loss settlement offer and the original invoice price of the vehicle, or
• the difference between the total loss settlement amount and the finance early-settlement amount.

Equivalent Vehicle GAP
This product pays the difference between the motor insurer’s total loss-settlement offer and the current replacement cost of a vehicle equivalent in age/mileage and specification to the insured vehicle.

Contract Hire GAP
This product is designed for customers who lease their vehicle and pays the difference between the motor insurer’s total loss settlement and the contract hire early-termination charge at the date of the total loss.

With innovative features relating to sustainability and more, it can differentiate your product from other products in the market.

The opportunity for a custom-made product that caters for your specific business needs is also available (terms and conditions apply).

Our products and processes are also built to fully comply with the regulatory framework.

With industry regulation toughening, it is important to anticipate the future of the automotive structure and to understand the necessary changes needed in order to comply with legislation.

BNP Paribas Cardif Ltd’s financial stability and market monitoring gives us a step ahead in the market to prepare and adapt for any regulatory changes.
