CA Auto Finance partners with insurance distributor GID

CA Auto Finance has announced a new UK partnership with General Insurance Distribution Limited (GID) to support the distribution of motor-related general insurance products through a customer-focused, FCA-compliant model.

The partnership introduces a distribution approach designed to improve customer engagement and decision-making after vehicle purchase, while fully aligning with the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). By appointing GID as its distribution partner, CA Auto Finance is reinforcing its commitment to high standards of service, transparency and regulatory compliance.

Under the new arrangement, CA Auto Finance customers in the UK will gain access to personalised insurance options delivered through a combination of online tools and professional advisor support. The streamlined process is intended to help customers better understand their insurance choices and make informed financial decisions within the eligibility period following vehicle purchase.

Through GID, customers will be able to access a broad range of industry-leading asset protection products. These include Complete Asset Protection, a GID-exclusive product incorporating Return to Invoice insurance to provide financial protection in the event of a total loss, as well as Flexi Gap Plus for customers seeking flexible gap insurance solutions. Additional offerings cover cosmetic repair insurance for minor damage, alloy wheel and tyre insurance, and Complete Wheel Insurance, which combines wheel and tyre protection into a single comprehensive product.

Commenting on the partnership, Alex Hughes, Country Manager UK & 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.

“With GID’s expertise in compliance-led distribution, we are delivering high-value insurance products in a straightforward, transparent, and entirely customer-focused manner. This is about giving our customers peace of mind and the confidence to protect their vehicles without unnecessary stress or confusion.”

The partnership offers customers flexibility in how they access and evaluate insurance products. Customers can choose to speak directly with an FCA-authorised advisor for a personalised, consultative assessment supported by transparent and recorded discussions, complete their purchase online via secure digital platforms, or combine both approaches to balance personal interaction with digital convenience.

Mike Gaffney, Managing Director of General Insurance Distribution Limited, said: “At GID, our mission is to simplify the complexities of automotive insurance, providing a compliance-first, advice-driven process that is rooted in transparency and fairness.

“Through our partnership with CA Auto Finance, we aim to give customers the confidence to protect their most valuable assets in a way that prioritises their individual needs and ensures positive outcomes.

“The automotive insurance market can be complex and overwhelming for customers. By removing the guesswork and focusing on tailored support, we ensure that CA Auto Finance customers have the information they need to make well-informed choices.”
