Example Shortfall Gap Insurance Policies

Every policy will have terms and conditions and ours is no exception. 

These are important as they will set out eligibility criteria as well as on what basis any claim would be made as well as who is responsible for what and when. With this in mind, we would request that before you buy any policy you familiarise yourself with them.
