VW Group Offer ‘Ensurance’ Against Rising Insurance Premiums

The insurance arm of Volkswagen financial services (VIS) launched a new product last week designed to provide ‘Ensurance’ against the rising cost of insurance.

‘Ensurance’ works with all car insurance policies to provide full accident management, support and service from the Volkswagen group repairer network in the event of an accident, it also provides cover against the increased costs of courtesy cars and does not involve any referral fees.

When ‘Ensurance’ is purchased VIS takes over the accident management process on the customers behalf. The cost of this service to customers is between £49.99 and £59.99 per year and includes legal expense cover which typically costs between £20-£25 extra on car insurance policies, a dedicated incident manager to deal with your claim, online notification and repair tracking, repairs being undertaken by Volkswagen group repairers using only Volkswagen group genuine, a sensible courtesy car for the duration of repair even if your car is stolen or declared a write off – giving you time to find a replacement.

Robert Cottrell, head of insurance for Volkswagen Financial Services and Volkswagen Insurance Service, said; “Last year VIS looked at developing a proposition which would provide a consistent claims experience for customers whoever their car insurer is and whether  they caused the accident or not. We wanted our customers to be able to ‘put Volkswagen into their insurance’

“Unlike existing credit hire models for accident management there are no referral fees paid through Ensurance. Although the cost is £49.99 per annum, this does include legal expenses cover which can typically cost an extra £20 to £30 per annum when added to a car insurance policy. A courtesy car is also provided which often has an additional cost as well. Buying Ensurance means customers are able save these costs on a car insurance policy and still enjoy the Volkswagen Group network service for no additional cost overall.”

‘Ensurance’ is available on all new and used Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda branded vehicles, more information on ‘Ensurance’ can be found on the relevant manufacturers sites: Audi, SEAT, Skoda,Volkswagen.
