• A two-tiered product: Two levels of cover will be offered – Essentials and Plus.
• Complimentary driveaway insurance: Complimentary five- day driveaway insurance available for eligible customers who purchase a new or used vehicle from any Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Škoda, Audi, SEAT or CUPRA retailer.
• Simple vehicle changes: No administration fees when making changes.
• User-friendly insurance portal: A dedicated portal providing customers with access to all necessary information regarding their cover.

Serge Raffard, Managing Director, Allianz Personal said: “We are happy to have agreed a new partnership with Volkswagen Financial Services UK (VWFS UK) to underwrite and administer motor insurance to their customers. VWFS UK is one of Allianz’s largest and most important global partners and this agreement highlights the strength of Allianz UK and the high-quality insurance products and claims services that we provide. We will work closely with VWFS UK to offer their customers innovative and flexible insurance products and services that meet their changing needs.
