Volkswagen Protection Plus from Desjardins Volkswagen

If you’re leasing or financing your Volkswagen, the Loan Protection plan is designed to protect you and your loved ones in the event that you are no longer able to make payments. This plan is broken down into four separate coverages:

Life Coverage

In the unfortunate event of your death, Life Coverage pays out the remaining balance of your loan to ensure that your Volkswagen remains with your beneficiary or estate.

Critical Illness Coverage

This coverage protects your financial commitment in the event you suffer a heart attack, stroke, or are diagnosed with a life-threatening cancer. The coverage will make your financial payments to ensure the vehicle remains with you and your family.

Loss of Employment Coverage

As the name explains, Loss of Employment coverage protects you if you lose your livelihood through no fault of your own. The coverage will continue making payments while you retain possession of your Volkswagen.

Disability Coverage

If you become disabled for a covered medical reason, no matter where the injury occured, Disability Coverage will continue making payments on your behalf.

Benefits:

• Claim benefits are usually received tax-free
• In most cases no medical exam or underwriting is required
• Most full-time occupations are eligible
• No age, height, weight, or smoking status premium surcharge
• Can be cancelled at any time
• Can protect credit standing

Should you need to replace your Volkswagen in the event of a total loss, this coverage gives you several options to help resolve the issue.

Negative Equity Privilege

If your vehicle is a total write-off but the balance on your loan is more than what the vehicle was worth, Negative Equity Privilege steps in. By providing an in-store loyalty credit for the difference between the insurer settlement amount and the remaining loan balance, this program will help you replace your VW.

Total Loss Event Privilege

If your Volkswagen is a total loss, many insurers will only pay fair market value for your vehicle. With Total Loss Event Privilege you’ll receive a fixed in-store credit towards a replacement vehicle to help offset the cost of purchasing a new vehicle.

Partial Loss Event Privilege

In the event of a fender-bender or other incident that results in a damage record on your VW’s history report, this can reduce the resale value of the said vehicle. Partial Loss Event Coverage provides an in-store loyalty credit to help make up for the loss in resale value.

Theft Event Privilege

If your Volkswagen is stolen and isn’t recovered, you are eligible for a fixed in-store loyalty credit towards a replacement vehicle.
