Funny thing, car insurance. Even with a clean driving record your premiums never seem to go down. And yet, what some insurance companies are prepared to pay out certainly does.
If your Honda is written off or stolen, you may not get the purchase price for it: you'll get its current value in the open market.
All of which seems a bit unfair. But with Honda Gap Insurance, you'll get back exactly what you paid.
Here's what usually happens.
You buy a new car for, say, £14,000. A year later, it gets written off by the insurance company following an accident or theft. In this event, you'd be sent a cheque for the current market value: call it £10,000. Which means either finding another £4,000 to buy a similar replacement, or settling for something not quite as good. And what's worse, with every passing year, that shortfall's just going to get bigger.
When you have Honda Gap Insurance…
You buy the same car for £14,000, and the same misfortune strikes. But as well as the cheque for £10,000 from the insurance company, you get one from us for £4,000, too. Which means you can replace the car like for like. With cover for up to three years, it doesn't matter how much your insurance company pays out: we'll make sure you get what you originally paid (vehicle purchase price excludes dealer fitted accessories).
It's incredibly simple. We think you'll find the decision is, too.
