Refund On Gap Insurance

[laumk7]

When I bought my current car, I bought it with gap insurance, the new car is going to be the same, it's not because of me it's because of other drivers I don't trust. Anyway, my dealership have told me that as I've had my policy less than 12 months, I can get a refund on it or something? I've been through all the (photocopied!) paperwork and I can't for the life of me find anything on this, let alone any telephone number to call - the policy is with Bristol street motors, I assume I can just call their hq?

I wondered / hoped someone had been in this position before and knew what to do? It's starting to get close to the time I collect my new car now, so I want to give the notice period for cancelling the old policy which I want to run until the day I collect the new car.

It's not bsm I'm buying the new car from btw

It really depends on the terms of the policy.

I use ALA, and get free transfers to new cars. They just work out a pro-rated amount and take that off the cost of a new policy.

I would consider buying GAP online, dealers are an absolute rip-off.

Thanks Alex, I gave them a call anyway and was told to phone up on the date I transfer to the new car and they'll give me a part refund. How much I don't know though, they don't need any notice period
