I've got gap insurance, but it was part of the deal, think its around £300

Good news about the car, just the wait for a new one.

I have GAP insurance £300 as well. Covers me for five years. I suspect your car is worth more than mine so it might be an idea.

I would insist on a new car ( or new car equivalent cash) replacement . In cases like this' GAP insurance is well worth the extra. A repaired car, even if repaired to a very standard, is never going to worth the same as the original car. Under no circumstances should a non-VW body shop be used to repair this extent of damage.

Apparently the gap insurance is return to invoice for 3 years so you get the total amount of what you paid back for it im not paying £399 for it will try and haggle still waiting on insurance they asked for an amount i need for a new car just waiting there reply, but when and if i get the cheque i can only have the hire car for 5 days after they dont have to give it me until the new car comes how naff is that checked with the legal cover and this is correct
