We’d like to share with you the latest testimonial we have received from another satisfied customer.
This is from Neil Owen who recently renewed his GAP insurance policy with us:
“I was exceptionally pleased with the speed and professionalism that my claim was dealt with … hence why I was happy to take out another policy with you.
My claim was dealt with by Gill Ricketts, and briefly Jodie Ogden, both of which were very keen to help.
The claim went through in under 3 weeks from when my insurance company made me an offer to me ordering the new car – I was happy with that.
I do, and have, recommended ALA GAP insurance to pretty much everyone when a conversation about insurance crops up. I guess that is the best indication of how pleased I am.”
Contact us now to find out more about our GAP insurance policies and why our customers are always happy to give glowing reports of our service.
We understand that buying GAP Insurance can be a bit baffling – there are different policies to suit different situations and a huge number of suppliers with wildly varying prices.
We’re proud of our customer service and we’ll happily take time with our customers or anyone considering GAP to make sure they understand the ins and outs of each policy, have all the relevant documentation and know exactly what to do in the event of a claim.
One of the biggest issues associated with GAP Insurance is overpriced quotes from car dealers, which can be bought for a fraction of the price from independent suppliers such as ALA. Interestingly, the BBC recently exposed this topic on their consumer advice programme, Rip Off Britain, which you can watch here.
You can rest assured that we’ll always chat with you openly and honestly and advise you on which of our policies is right for you.
The other week I also heard about a motorist who had taken out GAP Insurance from another provider and, after making a claim, still had a shortfall because there was a discrepancy between the market value offered by the GAP provider and the car insurance provider.
Unlike some GAP providers, we work with insurance companies to agree insurance estimates should your car be written off or stolen, so we can guarantee that we pay out the total shortfall whatever the market value, ensuring you’re never left out of pocket.
If you’re interested in taking out a policy, or simply want more information about GAP Insurance, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
We all know that drivers are feeling the pinch at the moment. Last week, there were reports that car insurance premiums have risen dramatically and we recently commissioned a report to find out if British motorists are at risk of being out of pocket elsewhere.
Our ‘Mind the GAP’ research revealed that over three quarters of motorists are at risk of being left out of pocket if their car is written off or stolen, by not protecting themselves against a shortfall on an insurance pay-out.
The Daily Mirror has a fantastic article in today’s money section which explains exactly what GAP is and the savings that can be had by purchasing direct. If you’re looking for more information about what GAP is, it’s a must read.
This afternoon, George Osborne will be unveiling his first budget and if you’re like me, you’ll be waiting in anticipation to hear what help is at hand for motorists. This is Money made some early predictions last week about what to expect from the budget so it’ll be interesting to see if they’re proven correct and whether the plans to increase fuel duty will be shelved.
We’re now seeing record fuel prices at the pumps and insurance at a premium and many of us are looking to make cost-savings where we can.
So, it’s no surprise that the phones have been ringing more here at ALA HQ. March is always a busy time for us, with many people returning to the forecourts to take advantage of the new 11 plate. But, in the past few weeks we’ve found that more motorists are looking to buy their GAP car insurance from an independent like us.
GAP insurance from an independent broker can be much cheaper than from a car dealer so you’re making instant saving, which is good news for motorists.
But in the meantime, will there be good news for us motorists? Let’s hope so.
