Insurance Equity Plus Insurance
(Gap Cover)
If your comprehensively insured vehicle is declared a total loss as a result of accident or theft, you may find that the payout from your comprehensive insurer (when your claim is accepted) is less than what you owe your credit provider for your Mazda.

Depending on the level of cover, the policy may pay for a range of expenses associated with the replacement of your Mazda.
A 'No Gap Benefit' is payable if there is no gap in the amount owed to the financier and the amount settled by the comprehensive insurer.
Example:
A 27 year old Company Manager (Claim No), had a loan payout amount of $17 100 and the Insurer settled only $10 800; a gap of $6 300.
Cash Benefit Insurance
