Gap Insurance

RTI Gap Insurance for your Used Diesel

Great cover for your used car


Returm To Invoice (RTI) Gap Insurance from DCC is available to you whether you paid cash, borrowed the money from a bank, or financed your car through us.

Added Protection for your used car

Gap Insurance will protect you against depreciation if your car is stolen and not recovered, or damaged beyond safe or economical repair and your insurer declares it to be a total loss.

Get back what you paid for your used car


When your insurer declares your car to be a ‘total loss’ through theft, vandalism or accident, it's really important to understand that they typically only pay the trade value of your car on the date of loss - not the invoice price  i.e. what it was worth when you bought it.

However, if this happens, Return To Invoice Gap Insurance will pay the difference between what you paid for your car and the value of your car when it was declared a ‘total loss’.

Why do I need Gap Insurance?

In the UK, car crime is one third of all crime; a vehicle is stolen every minute with a third never being recovered. A sad fact is that over 500,000 vehicles become a total loss each year.

Motor Insurance settles the depreciated value, not the purchase value.  From the second you start driving your car it's depreciating and typically, insurance companies depreciate cars by up to 60% over a three year period.

We Pay For What Your Insurance Company Does Not!

How will you value my used car?

The purchase value is the cost of the car as shown on the invoice. We're often asked what is included in the purchase price of the car, here's a useful guide;

Do Include:

Factory fitted accessories if your car is new

VAT unless you are vat registered

Don't Include:

Any discount

Warranty charges or insurance premiums

Vehicle excise license (vehicle tax disc)

Dealer fitted extras


Delivery charges


To ensure the benefit due to you is fairly and impartially calculated, we recognise the independent third party valuation of Glass's for accurate purchase and loss valuations. Glass's Guide has been the motor and insurance industry’s leading car valuation service for almost 75 years. As with all responsible Gap providers, should there be any difference in the loss or purchase value, we refer to the Glass's retail value.
