CA Auto Finance has appointed General Insurance Distribution Limited (GID) as a UK partner to support the distribution of motor-related general insurance products, using an approach that meets FCA requirements.
The partnership gives CA Auto Finance customers access to personalised insurance options through a mix of online tools and advisor support.
This process is designed to help customers better understand their choices and make informed decisions about financial products after buying a vehicle, before their eligibility period ends.
By outsourcing the distribution of these products to GID, CA Auto Finance aims to reinforce its commitment to providing customers with a high standard of service, aligned with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) compliance requirements.
Through the partnership, CA Auto Finance customers in the UK will now be able to access a range of asset protection products.
These products include Complete Asset Protection (CAP), Flexi Gap Plus, Cosmetic Repair Insurance, and Complete Wheel Insurance.
Complete Asset Protection (CAP) is a GID-exclusive product that includes Return to Invoice (RTI) insurance to ensure vehicle owners are financially protected in the event of total loss.
Flexi Gap Plus is for customers looking for flexible gap insurance solutions.
Cosmetic Repair Insurance offers coverage for minor cosmetic damage, to support customers in maintaining their vehicle’s appearance.
Alloy Wheel and Tyre Insurance is protection for wheels and tyres against accidental and cosmetic damage.
Complete Wheel Insurance provides a comprehensive product combining wheel and tyre protection.
Alex Hughes, country manager UK and Ireland and head of european markets at CA Auto Finance, said: “At CA Auto Finance, we understand that vehicle ownership represents a significant investment for our customers.
“Our partnership with GID reflects a shared commitment to delivering high-quality customer experiences, reducing complexity, and providing options that support informed and confident purchase decisions.
