Grupo Catalana Occidente is offering its customers a free rain repellent treatment to safeguard their road safety

"Customers of the companies Seguros Catalana Occidente, Plus Ultra Seguros and Seguros Bilbao who have taken out car insurance with glass cover will be able to benefit from this promotion until 30 November. "

During the rainy season, loss of visibility is one of the factors that pose the greatest danger to drivers on the road. In order to ensure the safety of its customers Grupo Catalana Occidente has launched a campaign offerings its customers a free rain repellent treatment until 30 November.

Specifically, customers of car insurance policies with windscreen cover from the companies Seguros Catalana Occidente, Plus Ultra Seguros and Seguros Bilbao will be able to request this free service in which a rain repellent solution will be applied to the windscreen of the vehicle, increasing visibility when it rains. In addition, this product protects the glass against build-up of dirt, limescale, dust, and deposits and prevents the windscreen from freezing.

To benefit from the treatment, which lasts approximately 12 months, or 20,000 kilometres depending on the weather conditions, the customers of these companies must request their treatment by calling the respective contact phone numbers, where they will be provided with a promotional code and will be redirected to the nearest windscreen workshop assigned to the promotion.

The campaign is aimed at passenger cars, minivans, off-road vehicles and passenger vans for personal use. All the details of the campaign are available on the website of Seguros Catalana Occidente, Plus Ultra Seguros and Seguros Bilbao.
