One less thing to worry about

Within this suite of ALPHERA Protect products is ALPHERA Shortfall Insurance, created to protect your finances should your vehicle be written off due to an accident, theft or fire. ALPHERA Shortfall Insurance is designed to bridge the gap between the motor insurance settlement and either the amount you paid for your vehicle, or the outstanding amount due under your finance agreement if your vehicle is declared a total loss, whichever is the higher amount. ALPHERA Shortfall Insurance covers you against losing out in these unsettling situations.

Key benefits of ALPHERA Shortfall Insurance

  • Cover available for 3 or 4 years
  • Available for New and Used vehicles up to 10 years old at policy inception
  • The insurance could pay up to £500 to cover any excess you have as part of your motor insurance claim
  • This policy could also pay up to £500 per year should you have a successful claim under your motor insurance policy that does not relate to a total loss 
  • Contribution towards a temporary replacement vehicle for a maximum of 30 days at £30 per day where a total loss has occurred
  • Pay for your policy upfront or in 12 monthly payments (at no extra cost to the customer)
  • Cover up to £1,500 for dealer fitted accessories listed on the original purchase invoice for the insured vehicle that are present at the date of loss 
  • You have up to 90 days to purchase your policy after you have collected your vehicle. Cover will start after you have purchased the policy

  • Cover only applicable if a claim under your motor insurance policy is paid
  • Cover for finance agreements does not include Contract Hire or Lease Hire
