Peugeot Protect – comprehensively covering your Pug

Peugeot Malaysia has introduced a new protection plan for Peugeot owners, the first of its kind in the country. Now, we all know that in the event of total loss of a vehicle due to theft, an accident, fire, flood or natural disasters, a motor insurance policy will never cover the original purchase price of your car.

Peugeot Protect has been designed to address this, offering you complete peace of mind by covering the difference in value between your Peugeot’s purchase price and the decreased value insured by your motor insurance policy.

Thus, in the event that the unthinkable happens and your car becomes a total loss through a mishap or theft, you won’t have to bear the burden of paying for the uninsured outstanding value of your vehicle.

How does it work? The plan, which covers total loss, theft, fire, flood and natural disasters, is an AXA Affin product and sits on top of the usual motor insurance.

In case of claims, owners will claim from the motor insurance first – once that goes through, Peugeot Protect will top up the amount to the original new car invoice value. The amount claimable will match the original purchase invoice price of the vehicle (factoring in discounts etc), not the new car selling price.

Peugeot Protect only works with motor insurance with a comprehensive plan for four years, and the amount claimed must be used to buy any new Peugeot model. As for the duration, coverage validity is up to five years with just a single upfront payment.

From now until July 31, Peugeot Protect will be offered free for all new 508 facelift range, 3008 and 5008 facelift model purchases. For other Peugeot vehicles, the cost of the plan involves a one-time upfront payment ranging between RM1k + to under RM3,000, depending on the model.

Available at all Peugeot outlets nationwide, Peugeot Protect is only open to new buyers and not existing Peugeot owners for now.
