What Is VW Credit? Your Guide to Financing Options

September 18th, 2024 by

Since 1981, VW Credit, Inc. (VCI) has been a part of the Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. As part of the automobile company’s financial services division, VCI strives to offer excellent financial products and support to Volkswagen, Audi, and Ducati dealers and their buyers in the U.S. and Canada. It provides financing, leasing, direct banking activities, and insurance products.

When you’re ready to fund your perfect Golf or Passat, you can find leasing or financing options at Capistrano Volkswagen. We collaborate with Volkswagen’s credit division to create a financial plan just for you. Read on to learn more about VCI and how you may benefit from its services and products.

VW Financing

Understanding VCI

As a powerhouse in automotive financing, VCI operates under three distinct brands: Volkswagen Credit, Audi Financial Services, and Ducati Financial Services. This facilitates the creation of specialized deals for each type of automobile and motorcycle buyer. In 2015, Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) established VWFS Protection Services, Inc. in partnership with VCI to provide insurance products for all three brands.

Beyond individual consumers, the company also supports dealerships by providing substantial loans for inventory and facility acquisitions. In Canada, the subsidiary VW Credit Canada, Inc. offers similar services.

Financial Services Offered by Volkswagen Credit

Volkswagen Credit, the VCI subsidiary you’ll most likely take advantage of at Capistrano Volkswagen, offers a comprehensive range of financial services designed to meet various needs, making it easier to get the vehicle you want. Whether you’re after a new or pre-owned vehicle, Volkswagen Credit offers:

  • Leasing: Flexible leasing options for both new and used vehicles.
  • Standard financing: Traditional loan options with competitive rates.
  • Balloon financing: Lower monthly payments with a larger final payment due at the end of the loan period.

Applying for credit is simple and convenient: you can start the process online from the comfort of your home. This makes it quick and easy to explore your financing options and get started finding your next car.

In addition, VWFS Protection Services offers plans that provide extra security for your auto. These protection plans can cover unexpected expenses, such as repairs not covered under the car’s warranty, and may address depreciation in a qualifying event that renders your vehicle a total loss. They may include the following:

  • Vehicle service protection.
  • Term protection.
  • Certified-pre-owned vehicle service protection.
  • Extended coverage options.
  • Key replacement coverage.
  • Lease-end protection.

For dealerships, Volkswagen Credit helps with financial business needs. This includes loans for purchasing stock and financing building improvements.

Volkswagen’s financial services division works hard to give you many financing choices. At Capistrano Volkswagen, we can guide you through the process of acquiring that Beetle or S line you’ve got your eye on. We want to see you in the car you’ve always wanted. We also want to help you protect it once you own it.
