Wheel and Tyre insurance etc

Hi
I have a notion of buying a Cupra Ateca and am interested in Wheel and Tyre insurance and Gap or RTI as they call it now
Anybody on here got any recommendations for these .
Thanks in advance

Depending on the alloys it may not be worth it, I have copper and they can only do a piss poor job as a repair, and will only contribute a small amount towards replacement. Gap is of value, you can get lower prices searching the web, but using a reputable company, they are not that much cheaper, but worthwhile in the event of a total loss claim.

don’t forget as soon as you drive away you loose the vat value on your car.

I’ve used ALA for gap insurance. Not had to claim thankfully, but very good customer service.

Hi - we have a specialist GAP insurer as a sponsor @DBK @ GAPinsurance.co.uk

I bought both with the car. Gap insurance is definitely worth it, and have heard a lot of stories about it being cheaper online (such as ALA). Alloy wheel insurance - depends. I'm 14 months in and haven't needed it. The Mrs wanted it in case of minor accident. But given the Ateca either has copper wheels or diamond cut, I wonder whether the repairs will ever be good enough. Perhaps there's also a cheaper third party alternative for this which might make it more worthwhile.
