No quibble exchange

30 day/1,000 mile 'no quibble' exchange policy.

If for any reason you want to change the car - maybe you have second thoughts, or it doesn't fit in your garage - you may be able to exchange it for another of the same price (or higher, with you paying the difference), as long as the vehicle is returned in the same condition as when it was collected and the retailer you bought your car from has an available vehicle in their stock.

For full details of the no quibble exchange please download a copy of the exchange agreement.

5 days’ complimentary Drive Away Insurance

We want you to start enjoying your new car from day one, which is why every Volkswagen Approved Used car, purchased from a Volkswagen Retailer, comes with five days’ complimentary insurance (subject to eligibility)⁠. This comprehensive cover guarantees that your vehicle will be repaired in a Volkswagen Approved Repairer using Volkswagen genuine parts and accessories. Plus, each one comes with a two-year warranty, excluding wear and tear items⁠.

We will also provide you with an annual quote, with no additional questions asked, so you can continue to enjoy all the benefits Volkswagen Car Insurance offers.

Every Volkswagen Approved Used electric vehicle receives a comprehensive multi point check where our highly trained technicians test the battery so you’ll know the current health and capacity. At handover, you will receive a battery health certificate for extra peace of mind. All of our fully electric cars are covered by a manufacturer warranty that covers battery degradation to 70% over a period of 8 years or up to 100,000 miles from first registration, whichever comes first.
