Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can my friend or relative collect the vehicle for me?

Q. What happens if my vehicle is stolen or I have an accident?
A. Detailed information is available in the Peugeot Practical Guide which is supplied in your vehicle as well as listed here, however it is relatively simple. You need to follow the same procedure as you would at home. Contact the police and fill out an accident report form. You must contact the Peugeot Customer Assistance team as soon as possible and follow their instructions. Keep any documents relating to the accident and fax the document to Peugeot Assistance.
