Significant features and benefits of the policy
If your car is written off or stolen and not recovered, Audi Gap
Insurance helps to bridge the gap between the settlement amount
from your motor insurer and the original purchase price of your car or
the outstanding finance.
What your policy covers
As a combined product, the policy will pay either of the following
benefits, whichever is the greatest.
1. Return to Invoice Cover
This covers the difference between the net invoice price of your
vehicle at the start date of the policy and your motor insurance
company’s total loss settlement figure.
2. Outstanding Finance Cover
This covers the difference between your motor insurance total loss
settlement figure and the outstanding early settlement balance at
the date of total loss. Claims paid under this section of your policy
will be paid to the finance company.
If you select cover for accessories fitted by the Audi Centre, we will
pay up to the limit shown on your Certificate of Insurance.
Any payment under this policy, will also include up to £250 towards
your motor insurance policy excess.
Please note, the most we will pay is shown on your Certificate
of Insurance.

Significant conditions and exclusions
This section is a brief summary of the conditions and exclusions of
the Audi Gap Insurance Cover Booklet.
You must contact Audi Gap Insurance before you accept a total
loss settlement offer from your motor insurer. If you accept
an offer without our agreement then we reserve the right to
settle your claim based on the market value of your vehicle, as
determined by the Glass’s Guide retail transacted value.
If you are pursuing the claim with a third party insurer, you must
advise Audi Gap Insurance. Please be aware that all Audi Gap
Insurance terms and conditions will still apply.
Where your motor insurance company determines that your
vehicle is a total loss and offers a replacement vehicle and you
decline the offer, Audi Gap Insurance reserves the right to settle
the claim using Glass’s Guide valuation. This may result in a claim
not being paid.
Your policy is not transferable unless your motor insurer provides
you with a replacement vehicle in settlement of a claim, or where
the Audi Centre replace your vehicle due to merchantable quality
issues.
In the event of a total loss, the vehicle must be recorded and
registered as salvage categories A, B, C or D.
In the event of the following, no claim will be paid if:
The vehicle is stolen, whilst unattended and the keys are in or on
the vehicle.
The driver of your vehicle is intoxicated by alcohol or under the
influence of non-prescribed drugs, or where advised not to drive by
a registered medical practitioner.
This policy does not cover any claim in relation to any VAT element
where you are VAT registered.
Your right to cancel
If this cover does not meet your requirements or should you decide
to cancel for any reason within a period of 30 days of receipt of the
policy documents, you can obtain a full refund of the premium paid,
provided no claims are known or reported.
After the 30 day period you can cancel your cover and be entitled to a
pro rata refund, less an administration fee of £35, provided no claims
are known or reported.
