APEX Insurance

APEX is Asset Protection & Excess Cover otherwise more commonly know as GAP.   If your vehicle is stolen or written off as a result of an accident, fire or theft, most insurers will only pay market value for your vehicle even if the claim was no fault of your own​.  Depending on the age and mileage at the time of loss, this may be substantially less than the price you paid for it originally - potentially leaving you out of pocket.​  APEX insurance will cover the difference between the motor insurer’s settlement figure and the amount you originally paid for your vehicle - allowing you to get back on the road more quickly and avoid any unexpected costs. Plus, if the amount required to settle the finance agreement is greater than the original invoice price, we will cover the higher figure, meaning you won’t be paying for a vehicle you no longer use.
