I think I paid a one-off payment of around £700 for gap insurance. This is for 3 years of cover deferred for 1 year so that up to 4 years old I would get the value of new car if the worse happened - God forbid!

Re: tire insurance- we've had this discussion before- ive picked up 2 nails so far and had them patched (not plugged)- everyone except PCNA will tell you thats ok and does not reduce the speed rating for the tire. Also the tire warranty may require only going back to the dealer and then you need deal with tire availabilty as well as getting a service appointment- quite a hassle factor. My tire guy is 10 minutes away and drops off the car when its fixed
