Peace of mind if your MINI is written off or stolen.
If your MINI is written off or stolen, your insurer might not cover what you originally paid. GAP Insurance bridges that gap – covering the difference between your insurance payout and your purchase price or outstanding finance (whichever is higher), up to £50,000.

Tyre INSURANCE

Covering tyre repair costs so your MINI is ready for your next adventure.
Damaged or vandalised tyres can disrupt your plans and come with unexpected costs. Tyre Insurance covers replacement expenses, with three cover levels to choose from. Get back on the road without the hassle.

Cosmetic REPAIR INSURANCE

Covering repair costs of minor damage so your MINI leaves a lasting impression.
Minor scratches, dents and scuffs happen – but they don't have to affect your vehicle's value. Cosmetic Repair Insurance covers professional repairs for bodywork damage, helping you maintain that showroom finish and protect your resale value.
