Should I still consider Gap cover if I paid cash for my vehicle?

Last updated on the 12th November 2025

Yes, even if you paid in full, GAP insurance can still offer valuable protection. In the event of a total loss, your motor insurer is likely to only cover the vehicle’s current market value,  not the full amount you originally paid. That means you could lose a significant portion of the money you invested. GAP insurance helps protect that loss, so you're not left out of pocket and can purchase a replacement vehicle.
