Volkswagen History
Volkswagen, known to its owners and consumers as VW was founded in 1937. VW is a German auto manufacturer headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. Volkswagen builds and ships their vehicles worldwide. Volkswagen translates to “People’s Car” in German. In the 30’s not many Germans had automobiles. Adolf Hitler ordered the production of a basic vehicle to transport families in order to have access to a vehicle. Hitler was very hot on this idea and in the end, sponsored the production of the VW Beetle. The Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche. The VW Beetle became one of the most iconic autos across the globe. During WWII auto manufacturing changed to the production of military vehicles.
Post war, Volkswagen was an important element to regenerating the economy. Both the VW Beetle and the introduction of the VW microbus came in 1950. Then in 1955 VW introduced its sports car the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. It was a 2-seater, coupe convertible. Volkswagen produced the Karmann Ghia from 1955 – 1974. It is one of VW’s most popular models. With Volkswagen making more of an entrance to markets outside of Germany, they formed Volkswagen of America in 1955. Both the Beetle and the Bus were popular in the US market. Volkswagen continued to grow through the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Volkswagen continued to introduce vehicles like the Jetta, the Golf, the Polo and the Scirocco.
In 2017, Volkswagen announced their plans to create a new focus on electric vehicles. Their goal is to launch several new EV models. Volkswagen has over 120 production facilities across the globe and sells vehicles in over 150 countries. Their motto, “Shaping mobility for generations to come” is taken quite seriously within Volkswagen. VM is dedicated to make mobility sustainable for future generations. The Volkswagen group has created TOGETHER 2025. The goal is to make automobiles clean, quiet, intelligent and safe for all owners. This along with Together4Integrity bundles compliance, culture, integrity and risk management to create the basics for future success for Volkswagen.
yes, olive is transferrable.
olive our coverage is backed
Extended car warranties are like a promise, only as good as the person making it.
olive is backed by an insurance provider with a long history of satisfying their customers. They’ve secured a consistent “A” rating from A.M. Best and an “A+” rating from Standard & Poor. We only partner with the best, so our coverage can be the same: the best.
An olive plan is more than an extended warranty, it’s frictionless coverage backed by an insurance mainstay.
the true cost of ownership
Vehicle complexity is higher than it has ever been, which also causes car repairs to be pricier than they’ve ever been. The average length of a car loan now sits at 68 months. Over that five-year period of ownership, the average cost for repairs/breakdowns is between $2,000 and $3,000. Many drivers are a breakdown away from taking a serious financial hit.
But it doesn’t have to be like that, olive’s plans act like an extended auto warranty, paying for serious mechanical repairs as they come up. But, unlike an extended auto warranty, an olive plan covers more parts than your average extended auto warranty, and olive is backed by an insurance underwriter with a consistent “A” rating from A.M. Best, an “A+” rating from Standard & Poor. olive is coverage backed by a rich history of success.

olive the difference
Our olive Ultimate protection plan not only pays for the covered components, but it pays for the labor and the metal hoses, couplings, seals and gaskets, linkages, and control valves (just to name a few). Now that’s coverage superior to an average extended warranty!
When you start adding up the cost of diagnostic time, parts, labor to install the parts, accessory parts, fittings, hoses, gaskets, and couplings, the true cost of a repair becomes a bloated, nightmarish affair.
olive’s budget-friendly monthly fee makes a ton of financial sense. olive coverage acts like an extended warranty, without the financial headache.
