Gap insurance protects you by paying the shortfall amount owed to the credit provider in the event that you have a total loss due to accident, theft or damage and the amount received from the comprehensive insurer is inadequate to finalise the loan on the vehicle. When you borrow money to purchase a vehicle you may be exposed to this insurance shortfall or gap. This gap is the difference between the insured value of the vehicle and the remaining balance required to finalise the loan or lease.
Gap insurance is only available when you enter into a new finance contract at the point of purchase and the vehicle or asset is comprehensively insured. Please ensure you read and understand the Product Disclosure Statement and Policy wording before you purchase this product.
Ask us how this can be included in your finance for as little as an additional $3 per week.
