BYD Gap Insurance​



Introduction to Asset Protection & Excess Cover


As a vehicle owner or keeper, you may already have comprehensive motor insurance that provides coverage in case of accidents or theft. However, did you know that in the event of a total loss, your insurance pay-out may not return you to the original invoice price of your vehicle? This is where our insurance comes in.

Snows can provide you with additional protection by covering the difference between the insured value of your car at the time of the loss and the greater of the purchase price of your car or the amount outstanding under your finance agreement (if any). With our insurance you can be assured that you won’t face a financial shortfall if the worst happens. Plus, with coverage up to £50,000, you can have peace of mind knowing you’re fully protected.
