Motorpoint Asset Protection
Driving away your perfect car is exciting, and we want to help make sure the years spent with your car bring nothing but happy motoring.
However, the situation is sometimes taken out of your control. Imagine your car is written off because of an accident, fire or theft. What’s more the normal reduction in your vehicle’s value over time leads them to pay out less than the car was originally worth, leaving you out of pocket and having to find additional cash to fund a replacement vehicle or pay off your car’s finance. How can you protect yourself against this potential loss?
This is where Motorpoint Asset Protection can help.
Motorpoint Asset Protection guarantees you’ll recoup the original purchase cost of your car, so you can clear outstanding finance without losing out – for complete peace of mind.
How Does Asset Protection Work?
We offer Asset Protection to all our customers as an optional add-on. It’s a convenient way to safeguard against the unexpected, with the option to claim up to the original cost of the car. Plus, you can cancel at any time* or transfer the cover to a new vehicle**.
Buying A Car On Finance
If you’re financing your car and you purchase the vehicle for, let’s say, £18,999 then the current finance settlement for your vehicle would be £19,200.
Your motor insurance company pay-out would be £12,000. That would leave £7,200 left to pay out of your pocket. If you have Asset Protection with Motorpoint, that’s all covered so you wouldn’t have to worry about clearing the rest of your outstanding finance.
Buying A Car Outright
If you’re buying your car with cash, it works almost exactly the same way. If you paid £18,999 for your car and it’s written off for any reason, your motor insurance company pay-out would be £12,000. An Asset Protection pay-out of £6,999 tops it up to the price you originally paid.
