How does Combined RTI GAP Insurance work?

Combined RTI GAP Insurance pays to you the difference between the original purchase value of your car and the written off settlement paid to you by your motor insurer or, if greater, the amount you require to settle your finance agreement (where applicable) following your car becoming a total loss (write off) as a result of an accident, fire or theft.

For example, if you purchased a car for £20,000 and the primary motor insurer paid you £11,000 following a total loss, Combined RTI GAP Insurance would pay to you £9,000, plus any early settlement charge on a finance agreement (where the early settlement total is greater than the original invoice price).
