Introducing DS+

In a year of unprecedented change, customer needs have evolved. As a brand we take pride in evolving with you to ensure your needs are met. That’s why we have created DS +, an innovative solution designed to meet the new needs of today.

DS+ Buy a DS, Access a Second On-Demand

Around a third of people think they will work from home on an ongoing basis and a similar proportion of people would consider owning just one car, if they had access to a second.* DS + is designed to help fill the gap when households and families need the convenience of an extra vehicle – be it for seeing friends and family or going on holidays – without the need to own and pay for a second car permanently.

The service gives new and current DS owners access to a second DS on-demand. Fees start from £48 per day and include comprehensive insurance and roadside cover. Vehicles can be collected from our DS Salon, or you can choose to have them delivered and collected from your home. Daily prices are benchmarked against national equivalent services with the added benefit of a 20% discount as a DS customer, as part of DS Club Privilege. You can secure your second DS on-demand through a secure online platform that saves your preferences and details for ease of use in the future.
