PNEUS-ONLINE launches Europe's first flat tyre insurance policy

PNEUS-ONLINE, France's leading online tyre provider, has launched the first online 24-month insurance cover against flat tyres in the UK. The company's website offers customers free insurance cover for the first year with a possible 12-month extension. The customer is insured against punctures from the day the tyres are purchased and is also covered against blow-outs and acts of vandalism. Claims are paid within three days.

PNEUS-ONLINE is already France's leading tyre sales site, stocking a very wide range of sizes and brands of tyres for cars, utility vehicles, 4-wheel drives, motorbikes and scooters. The company has a network of over 1,500 European garage partners to fit purchased tyres.

Since its launch in 2001, PNEUS-ONLINE has offered guaranteed prices that are from 30% to 50% lower than those of traditional trade names. It has over 350,000 tyres available in stock and offers fast and free delivery. Customers receive their orders within three to five days at their home or nearest fitting station. With PNEUS-ONLINE, it is also possible to track orders from preparation to reception, and secure payment is provided via the BNP Paribas Merc@net system. Purchases are insured and guaranteed by FIA-NET.
