“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.

The driveaway product is available to eligible customers who purchase a new or used vehicle from any Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Škoda, Audi, Seat and Cupra retailer.
Meanwhile, customers will not face administration fees when making changes and will also be able to use a portal with access to all necessary information regarding their cover.
James Taylor, head of product – non-asset based – at VWFS UK, said: “By offering customers motor insurance, we are strengthening our relationship beyond finance or leasing, enabling individuals to finance, insure and maintain their vehicles while alleviating common challenges associated with vehicle ownership.
“This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering positive customer outcomes at every stage of the customer journey.”
