So if your car costs £42K when you buy it, but it gets totalled after two years and would cost £44K to replace, you'll need to find another £2K.

Some providers offer an additional type of policy that covers this shortfall. Obviously it costs a bit more.
Thanks for the advice - one last thing which price do you use for the gap insurance the list price or the price after discounts?

You use the price you paid, i.e. after discounts.

You are far better buying independent insurance. The sales people are desperate to sell you these at inflated costs as they get commission.

Thank you Chris.
I think i will give it a miss, i very rarely get punctures and catch my rims on the kerb.
