Answers
What is Gap insurance?
This insurance
will pay the difference between the Market Value (Car Sales Guide Retail Value)
at date of loss (as a result of accidental damage, fire or theft) and the original
net invoice price of your insured vehicle or any outstanding finance, which ever is
the greater. The purchase price
is the price the customer paid for the insured vehicle, as confirmed by
the Net Invoice Selling Price (Return to Invoice) or Hire Purchase, within the period
of the policy or the amount required to settle the Finance Agreement (Finance GAP).

Can the bundle package be bought seperately to the Gap
or do they have to be purchased together?
Both the Gap and the Bundle can be bought either individually or as a package.
One important point is if you do choose to buy Gap and Bundle as a package, they must
be for the same period of time. Eg. you cannot purchase a 2 year Gap with a 3 year Bundle.
