“Customers will benefit from access to Volkswagen Approved Repair centres and genuine parts in the event of an accident, and cover for tools damaged or stolen whilst in the van.”
Wrisk will also supply a no-obligation monthly quotation for a fully comprehensive commercial van insurance policy.

Both organisations share the same vision of bringing the highest standards of digitally delivered insurance to customers and we are delighted to be on this path together.”
The appointment follows other recent developments involving Wrisk.
In February, Kia UK partnered with the company to introduce a subscription-based car insurance and accident aftercare product for buyers of new and used vehicles.
That offering includes monthly payments, a guaranteed 12-month price subject to no policy changes, no charges for amendments, renewals or cancellations, and up to five days’ complimentary Driveaway Insurance for eligible customers.
The accident aftercare element routes repair work to authorised dealers and approved bodyshops.
Also in February, Wrisk bought Atto, a financial intelligence platform focused on open banking-based credit scoring, income verification, affordability checks and behavioural insight.
According to the company, the platform allows enterprise partners to make context-aware credit and risk decisions using transactional data.
