A GAP STORY - ONCE UPON A TIME, NOT SO LONG AGO...
Paul bought a 2016 Mazda Atenza Wagon for $18,985
A few months later it was stolen and burnt out
After Pauls's insurance paid to the finance company what they valued the vehicle at, Paul had no car, plus he still owed $9,000 on his car loan
Luckily Autosure paid the $9,000 shortfall and $500 excess on his Insurance policy, plus they gave Paul a $2,000 deposit for his new car
Paul was very happy with his new Mazda Atenza which he purchased from Dave Allen Motors

Payment Protection Insurance
What is PPI - Loan Enquiry Insurance
Payment Protection Insurance is a policy that covers the policyholder for the installments on their credit contract in the event that they suffer an insured event below. The policy cover options are specific to the policyholder’s source of income at the time of entering into a Credit Contract. The benefits are payable directly to the financier. In the unfortunate event of death, PPI covers the outstanding balance on the loan.

- PPI protection truly covers you for the unexpected at the time you need it most.
- ACC only pays to a maximum of 80% of your income – How would your household react to an instant 20% pay cut?
