Hi Maxige
iv been of their web site and yes there's a quote I can get at £208, but is it worth it, would they pay up? has any one really read the small print. I know I never would.
I think the Audi Gap insurance would pay. very silly if they didn't.

cheers

George.

Got 4 year Gap from Audi, return to invoice for £350. Haggle, Audi's is better because there are no silly £25k max pay-outs.

well that's the gap insurance sorted, I Googled the address of Ala and to be honest I wasn't impressed with the street view, put me off big time looked like the office was a derelict house. Are they a genuine company???
Any how I went with Audi, £399 back to invoice, in the end a £300 saving, I probably could have got it cheaper else where but after looking, at Ala it put me off , trust issues and all. image is every thing and theirs was <beep> in my opinion.
thanks to all who had a bit of input.

I nego'd a similar deal with Audi
IMHO, it's money well spent if the worse should happen a little way down the line when the insurance value is a pittance in comparison to buying a new car back to your chosen spec

'Tis true. I had a policy with surfandprotect a few years back and got an email sometime ago with some crap about them going under and the policy being transferred to a new no-name provider (website looked like sh1t). Whilst I still had cover it must be stressed it did made me think; I'd also long since sold the car so I wasn't that fussed in the end.

You do pay more for a warranty/gap direct from Audi but they are the best, hassle-free option.
