Discovery Gap Cover

"I've had gap cover before with another company. With them it took me up to three months after I've been hospitalised to get my claim submitted. I've been on Discovery Gap Cover for less than a month. I was hospitalised in September. I didn't even submit an additional claim and I already received my money. Thank you very much. After an operation the last thing you want is to struggle with documents." - Discovery Gap Cover client, Nienke Nieuwenhuizen
