Press Release

Braunschweig, 20 July 2020. Volkswagen Financial Services are supporting the Volkswagen Group's electromobility offensive and the advance sales of the ID.3 with their "Lease&Care" package solution. This flexible offer enables customers to choose from various modular service options and thus maintain full cost transparency when operating their new electric vehicle. "We are deliberately focusing on the advantages of leasing for electric mobility. With leasing, our customers do not have to worry about the subsequent marketing or value of their vehicle after the contract period. The only thing that counts is use. We take care of everything else," says Jens Legenbauer, Chairman of the Management Board of Volkswagen Leasing GmbH. He adds: "We assume that around 80 percent of Volkswagen Group electric vehicles are leased or financed through us."

The Lease&Care packages are available for both private customers and small businesses in the familiar clothing sizes S, M and L. In addition to the pure leasing rate, Package S for private customers already includes the costs for routine maintenance and inspections at the usual intervals. Package M also covers the costs for replacing essential wear parts such as wiper blades or brake pads. Package L has the additional benefit of providing a complete set of winter wheels and tires.

The car insurance company Volkswagen Autoversicherung is offering a very special advantage for customers. It is granting a special discount of 25 percent on third-party liability and comprehensive cover for the ID.3. Moreover, the insurance provided is specifically tailored to e-vehicles. It includes features like all-risks coverage for the battery as well as protection against theft of the charging cable during the charging process or protection against damage to electrical components as a result of overvoltage.

BWhen leasing, customers only pay for their use of the vehicle with their monthly leasing installment. Together with the dealer, they determine the contract's term and an agreed mileage at the start of the contract. At the end of the term, they return the vehicle and do not have to worry about putting it back on the market. A particularly high level of transparency is ensured by a damage catalog, which specifies from the outset what damage and signs of wear and tear are and are not acceptable when the vehicle is returned.
