Deferred Combination RTI or VRI Gap Insurance with Easy Gap
Why would you want to buy Deferred Gap Insurance? 
If you buy a brand new vehicle, your own motor insurance policy may provide 'replacement' cover in the first 12 months of your ownership. This used to be a "perk" of buying a new car and was the norm.
With the cost implications to insurance companies more and more companies are pulling away from the cover but there are still a number of very big, reputable household named insurance companies that do! So please check with your own insurance company before you buy any level of deferred gap insurance.
So what does it mean to you if your own motor insurance company do offer the new for old cover?
By taking the Gap protection from Day 1 then you could be in effect paying for the 'gap' cover twice in that first year. You could delay buying your policy but then you would have owned your vehicle for over 180 days and would therefore not be eligible for the higher levels of protection. The ever present catch 22. Pay twice or miss out on higher levels of protection.
The answer may be to defer the start date of your cover with Easy Gap!
Lets assume that you have checked with your own motor insurance company and are happy with any terms they may apply and that they offer you the new for old replacement style of cover for 12 months.
With Easy Gap if you wanted a total cover of three years you would simply buy a two year standard policy and set the start date to co-inside with the end of your own motor insurance companies cover ( up to 12 months in advance ).
This means that the gap insurance cover would start the day after your cars first birthday but would still protect the original invoice price you paid or the replacement cost which depending upon the level of protection you choose.
Year one your vehicle is covered by your motor insurance company. Year two and three is it covered by Gap Insurance.
If you wanted a total of four years cover you could simply buy a standard three year policy and set the start date up to 12 months in advance therefore giving you a total of four years and so on and so on. A four year policy deferred would therefore give you a total of five years cover etc ..
Please remember that the maximum length of cover we can offer is five years. So no matter if you want to defer the start date or not, combined with your own motor insurance company the maximum length of cover is five years.
