Vehicle Replacement Insurance

If your new vehicle is declared a total loss by your insurance provider, Vehicle Replacement Insurance (VRI) is designed to put you back in a brand new like for like vehicle, even if the replacement vehicle costs more than the one you originally purchased.

The insurance policy pays an amount to replace your original vehicle with one of the same specification - in this example that would be £7,200

The VRI element of this policy runs for 24 or 36 months from when you purchased your vehicle. If you still have finance on the vehicle after this period, the cover will continue for up to 60 months but changes to Finance GAP - paying the shortfall between the motor insurance settlement figure and the Early Settlement Amount that you owe to your finance company.

Please note: If your motor insurance policy has a new vehicle provision and you decline the offer of a new vehicle, then we will pay the difference between the insured vehicle and the net invoice selling price of the insured vehicle, or the finance settlement, whichever is the greater and not the cost of the vehicle.
