Driving peace of mind: CA Auto Finance brings Opteven partnership to the UK market

• CA Auto Finance becomes exclusive partner to Opteven UK.
• The agreement, already in force in France and Italy, is part of a broader strategic partnership between the parent company Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility and Opteven.

CA Auto Finance, the UK subsidiary of CA Auto Bank, the European provider of vehicle finance, leasing, and mobility solutions, has announced a new UK partnership with Opteven, a pan-European provider of vehicle warranty and insurance products.

The announcement builds on an already established partnership between the two brands in key European markets like France and Italy.

From today, UK drivers financing their vehicles with CA Auto Finance can access the newly introduced Total Care Warranty designed to provide tailored coverage terms based on a vehicle’s specific eligibility to meet diverse customer needs. Crucially, it offers higher claims limits and removes restrictions on vehicle age or mileage after the purchase, providing comprehensive and continuous protection throughout the ownership period.

ONS data shows that from September 2024 to September 2025, the cost of maintaining motor vehicles in the UK rose by 7.9%, reflecting the impact of inflation, supply chain pressures, and increased labour costs.
By combining resources and industry expertise, this partnership seeks to offer drivers who have financed their vehicles with CA Auto Finance with accessible and easy to understand insurance and warranty services that ensure their cars are protected during different eventualities.

The agreement is part of a broader strategic partnership between the parent company Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility and Opteven. The two companies created a 50/50 joint venture, called Crédit Agricole Mobility Care Services, specializing in automobile warranty and maintenance contracts.

Ludovic Troyes, Opteven UK CEO commented: “At Opteven, we have a strong presence across Europe, where we’ve built a reputation for helping drivers protect their vehicles and drive with confidence. We are excited to be able to bring our products to CA Auto Finance customers in the UK, building on our strong partnership in Europe. Together we ensure drivers have the tailored protection they need to keep moving forward when unforeseen challenges arise.”

Christian Gorton, Marketing Director at CA Auto Finance, said: “We understand that vehicle ownership can come with unexpected costs, and we’re always looking to make this experience as stress-free as possible for our customers. Our partnership with Opteven is a powerful business lever, allowing us to provide UK drivers with a range of products that ensures if trouble does strike, paying for damage is a more straightforward process. Together with Opteven UK, we are proud to deliver confidence, peace of mind, and more value to our customers. This reassurance is increasingly vital, especially for those navigating the transition to electric mobility, at a time when they need it most.”
