What it is

Life can be perfect when you’re driving a Volkswagen, but it pays to be ready for the unexpected. After all, when the unexpected happens, it’s important to ensure that you have your Volkswagen to help you get to where you need to go. Volkswagen Protection Plus® Loan Protection is a Life, Critical Illness, Loss of Employment and Disability program designed to help you and your loved ones meet your financial obligations in the event of a life-altering event, illness, or death.

1. Life Coverage

In the unfortunate event of your death, Loan Protection will pay out the balance of your loan to ensure your vehicle remains with your beneficiary or your estate. Both you and your family need not worry about the potential loss of a vehicle as a result of the loss of life. In addition, Life Coverage can protect both finance and lease contracts, including any residual value.

2. Critical Illness Coverage

Combined with the benefits of Life coverage, Critical Illness coverage protects your financial commitment in the event you suffer a heart attack, stroke or are diagnosed with life-threatening cancer. Should one of these ailments afflict you, or in the event of death Loan Protection will be there to make your financial payments to ensure your vehicle stays with you and your family.

3. Loss of Employment Coverage

Combined with the benefits of Life coverage, Loss of Employment insurance is designed to protect you from the volatility of today’s job market. In the event that you lose your job (through no fault of your own), this policy will make your monthly payments while you retain possession of your vehicle.

4. Disability Coverage

In the event you are disabled for a covered medical reason, Loan Protection will make the monthly payments of your loan until you get back on your feet; regardless if the incident is at work, at home, or at play.

Benefits

  • In most cases, no medical exam or underwriting required
  • Most full-time occupations are eligible
  • No age, height, weight or smoking status premium surcharge

What it is

To help replace your vehicle in the event of a vehicle loss, Volkswagen Protection Plus® Vehicle Loss Privilege Program* gives you a host of options for different loss events that can occur:

1. Negative Equity Privilege

When your vehicle is a total write-off and your balance on your vehicle loan is more than what your vehicle is worth, Negative Equity Privilege can step in to help. By providing an in-store loyalty credit†† for the difference between your insurer settlement amount and the remaining loan balance, this program can help you replace your Volkswagen.

2a. Total Loss Event Privilege

Sometimes, you do have to completely let go. Your insurer would call this a total loss of your vehicle (from such things as collision, fire or theft). In such a scenario, your insurer will quite often only pay the fair market value of your vehicle. With Total Loss Event Privilege, you’re eligible for a fixed in-store loyalty credit†† towards a replacement vehicle which helps offset some of the added cost of getting that new set of wheels.

2b. Partial Loss Event Privilege

In case your last fender-bender resulted in a damage record on your vehicle’s history report, a damage declaration could reduce the resale value of your vehicle. That’s why having a Partial Loss Event Privilege can be so beneficial. When it’s time to purchase or lease a new vehicle, it provides an in-store loyalty credit †† to help you make up for the loss in resale value.

3. Theft Event Privilege

With Theft Event Privilege, in the event your vehicle is stolen and not recovered, you are eligible for a fixed in-store loyalty credit †† towards a replacement vehicle.

Benefits

  • Payable in affordable monthly installments
  • 60-day money back guarantee
