Santander Consumer Finance has appointed The Warranty Group to supply return to invoice GAP insurance products to 3,000 motor dealers for which it provides new and used car finance.

The move follows on from the success of The Warranty Group’s service plan, which has been offered by Santander Consumer Finance to its dealers since 2009.

Andy Green, marketing director at Santander Consumer Finance, said: “Service plans from The Warranty Group have become an important part of the product mix offered by our dealers during the last couple of years, and it makes sense for us to offer return to invoice GAP using them.

“Offering a wide range of options to customers in support of car finance is becoming an increasingly important revenue stream for dealers and, by extending our partnership with The Warranty Group, we are providing our dealers with access to market leading return to invoice GAP and service plan products, easy online administration and a high level of training support.”
