Another GAP insurance question

My wife gets her new car on Saturday :j, but as we have got a deal with Scrappage and dealer allowance, the discount was £18.7k reduced to £14.7k.

Now, looking at GAP insurance, it seems the payout will be RTI (return to Invoice), which still leaves me short approx £4k.

Is there a company that anyone can recommend that will provide a replacement car, or the at least the cost to have the car replaced if I went back to the dealer (heaven forbid) is the car is a write off??
One day I want to be the pigeon...... and not the statue!

    There are plenty that do replacement vehicle insurance rather than RTI.

    If the new car is brand new remember that most insurers will give you a new car if the vehicle is a total loss in the first 1 or 2 years so if you buy 3 years VRI then you are only really getting 1-2 years cover
