Contract Hire/Lease GAP is available for vehicles arrangement only and is available to companies and private individuals. We can cover cars that are up to 5 years old for a maximum period of 5 years – effectively meaning the car could be 10 years old on its return.
Contract Hire/Lease GAP is available for the period of cover you require, you may have already leased the car for up to 3 months into a 4 year lease - you only pay for the remaining cover.
If the vehicle is written off during the contract hire/lease agreement, you will be personally liable for any financial shortfall remaining if the contract hire company require more than your motor insurer is willing to pay in settlement.
