(PRWEB UK) 14 September 2015 -- •Now available to drivers aged 18-20 for the first time
•State-of-the-art plug-in telematics device tracks vehicle use
•Available on Peugeot 108 priced from just £248 rental per month** and no initial payment.
Just Add Fuel® is Peugeot’s innovative and unique fixed-cost motoring package – and now it’s available to teenage drivers.
Since launch in July 2010, over 27,000 UK drivers have taken advantage of Just Add Fuel® from Peugeot. Along with being hassle free, its low single monthly payment to cover all motoring costs and exceptional value for money have been the appealing factors.
But it has only been available to drivers aged 21 or older – until now. Peugeot has again rewritten the retail rule book and, thanks to the use of advanced telematics technology, younger drivers can benefit for the first time.
Just Add Fuel® is an innovation which has had a significant influence on UK car-buying patterns. It includes:
- A single monthly payment to cover all motoring costs
- No need to budget for insurance, servicing, road fund licence*, and roadside assistance costs – they are all included
- No need to search for cheaper insurance each year
- Fixed price motoring for three years means peace of mind
- A completely transparent motoring package with no hidden costs
- The opportunity to drive a new car every three years, so no MOT costs
Insurance industry data reveals that, statistically, drivers aged 18-20 are at the highest risk of being involved an accident. Working closely with its policy provider, Peugeot is launching a comprehensive fixed cost motoring package which takes that into account.
Neil Moscrop, Peugeot Brand Director commented: “Just Add Fuel is recognised as the most significant innovation in vehicle retailing for a number of years. Now we can widen its appeal even further, allowing a broader spectrum of drivers to experience the thrill of owning a new Peugeot car.”
Just Add Fuel® for those aged 18-20 is only available to Peugeot 108 buyers and is priced from just £248 rental per month**. The secret is a discreet plug-in telematics device; sent to customers immediately after they take delivery of the popular city car, it attaches to the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) port under the steering wheel. It’s a simple installation which they can do themselves, though their Peugeot Dealer will be happy to help if required.
Via satellite tracking, it stores and sends data on the vehicle’s speed, acceleration, deceleration and lateral G-forces. This is used to assess the customer’s driving style and rate each journey made, on a scale from 1–100. Customers will have access to an online portal where they can review their driving activity.
This is also regularly monitored by the insurer and an aggregate score awarded. Feedback is provided to assist the customer in improving this if necessary. If the score falls below an agreed threshold, the driver will receive a warning. Four warnings a year will result in the insurance policy being cancelled. This may reduce the number of insurance products available to the customer, and/or increase the premiums they are quoted.
Terms and conditions apply, including a requirement for a full UK driving licence, permanent UK residency and no ‘fault’ insurance claims.
Just Add Fuel® with telematics is also available to Peugeot 108 buyers aged 21-75 who do not have two years’ No Claims Discount, or have held a full UK driver’s licence for less than two years.
Despite being part of the new car retailing landscape for five years, Just Add Fuel® remains unique to Peugeot.
