GAP Insurance

In May I had an accident that wrote off my 2yr old car. Had GAP insurance with Easy Gap. They were so helpful, most of the correspondence was done by a relative as I in hospital. The Gap insurance even noticed that my car insurance had under valued by car by using an older car to value it. we asked the car insurance for proof of how they valued the car and this was how it was spotted.
I got back every single penny I paid for my car including the insurance excess of £250.
now in the process of looking for a new deal for my new car
Tip though go for the option - Total Loss cover - for me to buy a new car - the exact same model as I had - is costing me another £2000. This cover gives the cost of what the exact same car would cost today not when you bought it.
