PEUGEOT Asset Protection Insurance

Welcome to Asset Protection from AutoTrust. This policy is designed to help you in the event that your vehicle is stolen or damaged beyond economical repair and deemed to be a total loss by your motor insurance company.

Should the worst happen, AutoTrust Asset Protection could pay the difference between the write off settlement from your motor insurance company and the price you paid for your vehicle or the outstanding balance on your vehicle finance, lease or contract hire agreement, whichever is greater.

We hope you never need to claim on your AutoTrust Asset Protection but if you do, you should follow the claims process shown on page 11. Please keep this book safe as you will need it if you have to make a claim – please don’t store it in your vehicle; we recommend keeping it with your motor insurance documents.

AutoTrust Asset Protection provides an exceptionally high level of cover and has received the top 5-star rating by Defaqto, the UK’s leading independent financial services rating agency.
