Lets say you purchase a Van for £19,995.00 and in doing so pay a £1,000 deposit and finance the remaining £18,995.
Two years later, the Van is written off and your Motor Insurance company offer you only £10,000.00, but the settlement figure on your Finance Agreement is £12,000. This is known as being in 'negative equity' (owing more than the vehicle is worth) to the tune of £2,000.
If this happened, VAN Finance GAP Insurance would pay the £2,000 difference between your Motor Insurance payout (£10,000) and the amount oustanding on Finance (£12,000).
Without VAN Finance GAP Insurance you would have to find the £2,000 difference yourself, but with VAN Finance GAP Insurance your Finance Agreement is settled meaning that you can concentrate on replacing the Van without the headache of having to find the extra funds to cover the negative equity.
