As above plus top cashback site has offers for GAP insurance.

Re: GAP Insurance

I have it as peace of mind SHOULD anything go wrong. The dealers will try and sell it to you for around £250-350 over 3 years. I go online, use a cashback site and usually get it for around £99 for the 3 years! Tell the garage to remove the GAP insurance unless you're loaded and don't mind wasting money :D

Re: GAP Insurance

Just be aware that some GAP products do not cover certain performance cars , I had to shop around for specialist cover in that regard.

As DS alluded to avoid main dealer policies as they are very expensive.

Re: GAP Insurance

Picked the car up today.

Avoided the £349 the dealer wanted. Took a deal online for half that price.

Have the peace of mind of having a policy.

Thanks for all the comments.

Dealer gave us a years free motoring insurance as well.

Re: GAP Insurance

Changing our car this week and the dealership is trying to sell us GAP insurance.

Any thoughts on how essential it is or is it an additional add-on that's not required.

I have been offered that on last two deals. Rejected it outright. More insurance commission-meisters creating fear for a another bit of buksheesh. I have never needed it in the past, so I decided not to fill the pockets of the fear-peddling grave-diggers.
