Volvo GAP Insurance

Famed for the robust Scandinavian build-quality of its engineering, Volvo specialises in premium executive cars that share many of the qualities you’d typically associate with German brands like Audi, Mercedes and BMW. While Volvo hasn’t always matched its German competitors in terms of style and performance, it usually succeeds in offering a smart, distinctive alternative with an appealingly chunky aesthetic all of its own.

The Swedish brand is perhaps most famous for its commendable and frequently pioneering focus on safety. Collapsible steering columns, rear-facing child seats and crumple zones are among Volvo’s numerous innovations and the company continues to set safety benchmarks. However, when it comes to reliability, Volvo has a tendency to need frequent repairs.

Why do I need Volvo GAP insurance?

If you’re the proud owner of a Volvo, you probably don’t want to cut corners when it comes to protecting your investment. Which is why GAP insurance makes sense as an additional level of protection.


Sadly, in the event of a write-off or theft many motorists find that their standard insurance pays out significantly less than the sum they need to replace their car. This is because most standard policies pay out the current value of a car, which is typically a long way short of the figure you’d need to buy a new like-for-like replacement.

Depreciation typically knocks about 60% off a car’s value over three years. So, were you to buy a new Volvo XC90 for £70,000, it may be worth £28,000 three years later. Consequently, your insurer may only offer a £28,000 payout in the event of a write-off, meaning you’d have to find another £42,000 to replace your car with the same model.
