What is Motorhome GAP Insurance?

What is Motorhome GAP Insurance?

With ALA Motorhome GAP insurance, whether you have an ACE or a WildAx or anything in between, we will protect you financially in the event your vehicle is declared a total loss.

Although motorhomes don’t tend to depreciate as quickly as most other vehicles, they are often more expensive to buy initially and even a small amount of depreciation on such a costly vehicle can mean that you are left out of pocket following a total loss.

If your insurer declares your vehicle a total loss (or write off) following an accident, fire or flood damage, or if it is stolen, they will only pay you the market value of the vehicle. ALA’s Motorhome Back to Invoice Plus GAP Insurance will cover the shortfall between the insurer’s settlement and the original price you paid for your motorhome, or the outstanding finance owed at the time, whichever is higher.

Motorhome GAP FAQ

Do you impose a maximum limit for factory or dealer fit accessories?

All factory fitted extras are covered by our motorhome GAP policies.

With regards to dealer fitted accessories, there is no limit to the value that we will cover; as long as the part appears on the manufacturer price list and is included on the vehicle invoice, we will cover the cost of that extra.

Who is covered by my GAP policy?

Any person driving your motorhome is covered by your ALA GAP policy as long as they are a named driver on your comprehensive motor insurance policy.

Anyone driving your vehicle under their own motor insurance or on a temporary/short term motor insurance policy will not be covered by an ALA GAP policy.
