GAP insurance - who ?

[Ginge 35Edition]

ALA looks like the best option then mate?

[Buck]

Agree with Ginge - 4 years for £209 - £1 per week for piece of mind and they do have a good rep.

Thanks again for the replies.

My next question was about there reputations........ Buck answered it before I had the chance to ask.

Must admit I am leaning towards ALA.

Any other opinions on reputation/past experience etc would be appreciated.

Have you asked them about delaying when it starts because your own insurance should cover you?

[BaBaZa]

I got mine from car2cover, can't remember how much but it was a lot less than the dealer and I was able to delay the start for one year as my own insurance should provide a replacement.

Be careful about insurance companys new for old there is normally a clause that meens if the model changes they won't do it. If fallen foul to that one in the past so lost thousands when they would not do it and only paid market.

OT but I bet a lot of you don't know a lot of insurance companys now also insist on cheap China made panels and non genuine parts been used when a cars over a year old for repair. Even when done at vw dealer workshops (got to hear about that from vw dealer workshop the other week.) So watch the Terms and.conditions.

Thanks for your help with this guys.

I will be going with ALA, 4 year cover.  £209 - 5% so a happy bunny

I initially had decided to take VW gap insurance when I ordered the car, for £399. After some investigation, I found I could buy it considerably cheaper. Hen I went to sign all the paperwork, I declined their gap insurance and the dealer aid he'd do it for £200 I went for that in the end.

Thanks for the tip ... just sorted my GAP insurance out after reading this 

I went with ALA too ... Quidco was offering 11% cashback today as well 

I saw that ALA also do tyre and alloy cover, but only if you take out GAP as well.  The cover looks to be worth thinking about unless you have Diamond Cut alloys (like Monzas or my Audi Rotors   ).
