Car insurance optional extras

Protected No Claims Bonus

A way to safeguard your no claims discount is to pay an additional amount on top of your car insurance to protect it. This means that even if you were to make a claim, your no claims bonus would stay intact.

Important information:

No claims discount protection does not protect the overall price of your insurance policy. The price of your insurance policy may increase following an accident even if you were not at fault. No claims discount protection allows you to make one or more claims before your number of no claims bonus years falls. Please see the step-back procedure for details.

Legal Expenses

If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident where the other driver is identifiable and is also at fault, our Motor Legal Expense policy will give you a stress-free service to recover your uninsured losses. This service will give full management of your claim from start to finish together with legal advice available 24 hours a day.

Breakdown Cover

Breaking down during the course of a journey or the failure of your vehicle to start outside your home could result in the unexpected expense of paying for assistance. To avoid such cost and frustration, we recommend our Award Winning Breakdown Service offering varying levels of cover to suit your needs.

More about the Classic Beetle and VW Beetle Insurance

The original Volkswagen Beetle, was produced by VW from 1938 until 2003 after which the New Beetle took its place. Famously the original car, and its objectives, were formulated by Adolf Hitler, who wanted a cheap, simple vehicle that could be mass-produced for the new German Autobahn road network.

Ferdinand Porsche created the Beetle's design – one of world's first rear-engined cars – and with over 21 million manufactured, the Beetle went on to become one of most popular car designs ever.

Perhaps then it's no surprise that Performance Direct insures so many Volkswagen Beetles – new and old, across the UK.

Another reason is because the Beetle (or VW Bug as it's also known) gave rise to some very popular variants, including the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia and the Volkswagen Type 2 bus – both popular vehicles at Performance Direct. In 1974, Volkswagen's front-wheel drive Golf model succeeded the Beetle but in 1994, Volkswagen unveiled the Concept One , a retro concept car with a strong resemblance to the original Beetle, heralding the introduction of the "New Beetle", built on the Golf platform, with styling recalling the original Type 1.

In a 1999 international poll seeking the world's most influential car of the 20th century, the Type 1 VW Beetle came fourth, after the Ford Model T, the Mini, and the Citroën DS.

Performance Direct's love of the 'Bug' extends to visiting and exhibiting at many VW and Beetle shows all over the UK, including Big Bang Camper and Bus, Bug Jam and VW Action where we have offered our VW Beetle Insurance.
