Under the collaboration, drivers purchasing a car of the specified brands will receive complimentary seven-day motor insurance cover from Zurich. In addition, they will also be provided with a quote for annual cover.

This new alliance will enable Zurich to offer specially tailored, individual, marquee-branded cover to Volkswagen Insurance Service’s new and existing customers.

This exciting new deal provides a great opportunity to develop a long-term relationship with the Volkswagen Group and its brands as their main motor insurance partner, said Adrian Saunders, acting managing director for partnerships at Zurich. The deal represents a significant win for Zurich and is directly in line with our strategic direction for growing our partnership business.
