GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) Insurance

Mercedes-Benz GAP Insurance

GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) Insurance

Your car is a precious investment and it’s important to make sure it’s protected. If your vehicle were to be written off by your motor insurers and they only paid out market value, this is where GAP Insurance would come in. This insurance can cover the shortfall between that motor insurance pay-out and the original invoice purchase price when you first took ownership of the vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz GAP Insurance is also available for Hire & Reward customers.

Speak to your Business Manager who will be able to assess your needs and offer you a suitable product.
