GAP for GTI/GTD
« on: 24 April 2013, 14:42 »
Who's going for the GAP insurance then?  Hopefully all of you!  :nerd: My question is however, have you gone with your dealer and if so what price did you get it for?  Or are you going elsewhere?  I've been quoted £350 by my dealer and not a chance in hell I'm paying that much!  :laugh:

ALA plus use the 11% code that is freely floating around the net.
By far the cheapest when I was looking.

Excellent; a quick search shows back to invoice cover at £129 - so that's not £350!  Thanks!!

Also go via quidco.com and get cashback  :smiley:

It might not work if you also use a promotional code but you have nothing to lose.

I'm going for VRI not GAP, and got it free (after twisting the dealers arm)  :whistle:

I can see the benefit IF the worse happens, but to me it's insurance insurance. Just another add on that the dealer rolls into the drip package to boost his commission, along with wheel and tyre cover, smart repair insurance, paint sealant etc

I'll probably go ALA, 3 years, vehicle replacement, or via VW if they will price match.  Not paying their full rip-off rate!

I see where you're coming from but you can get it much cheaper online (see above) than the dealers, and the thing with GAP is you don't pay a premium for having a decent performance car.  Golf GTi's and R's are very "nickable" cars and GAP cover to me is a no brainer on these types of car at £100 - £150 for 3 years cover.
