Hello, new to here and new Q3 Audi owner (20 plate). I’ve just purchased the car, and was offered GAP insurance, which I really would like to take out given very recently I’ve not had the best luck with cars as a couple had been stolen due to a burglary few months ago!
I got told I have 28 days to make a decision, so didn’t purchase on the spot - kind of glad I didn’t because I got told that the premium was £425 for 4 years. However when I go onto the Audi finance website (insurewithaudi) it says this is available for £325, saving a hundred pounds instantly.
I emailed the lady at the dealership who just said their provider is not Audi finance direct - I looked this up on the documents they uploaded and it is actually a company called Mapfre Assistencia - who is that? It seems like a Spanish insurance company...?
I don’t understand why the dealership I went to (in Maidstone) would sell me that, instead of the one with Audi finance which Is actually cheaper and with their partnered finance company, who I am purchasing the car through...? Can anyone help to explain that?
Also is one better than the other? I assumed I’m probably better off going for the one via Audi finance..? I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience through Audi?
Any advice is appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
