FIFTH GEAR AD - PEUGEOT Just Add Fuel with Telematics

The Great Combinations in Life: A Look at What Works and What Doesn't

When it comes to life's great combinations, there have been some that have stood the test of time. Bacon and eggs, rock and roll, and even Scooby and Shaggy are just a few examples of pairings that have become iconic over the years. However, not all combinations are created equal. One combination that has always seemed like a bad idea is being young and a petrol head. At 18 years old, with a grand worth of money to spend on cars, it's likely that insurance costs will add up quickly. In fact, it's estimated that insuring such a car for just one year would cost more than twice the initial purchase price, excluding any maintenance costs.

However, if you're around that age now and are considering getting behind the wheel of your first car, Peugeot has come up with a clever solution. It's called "Just Add Fuel with Telematics." This innovative system allows newly qualified drivers or any drivers to control their insurance costs. To do this, a black box is installed in the car. It's not as invasive as it sounds; rather, it's a device that monitors driving habits and sends this information to the insurer.

The telematics bit is worth exploring because it can have a significant impact on insurance premiums. Insurance companies calculate premiums based on averages, and for young drivers, these tend to be higher. However, not all young motorists are involved in accidents; most of them drive safely without incident. The problem is that when they do get into an accident, their high premium can't be ignored. By installing a black box in the car, insurance premiums remain fixed for three whole years. This means that young drivers don't have to worry about the financial burden of car insurance.

One might wonder if there are any drawbacks to this system. The answer is no; with Peugeot's Telematics system, there are no curfews or restrictions on driving times. Drivers can enjoy their newfound independence and freedom to drive whenever they please. This sounds too good to be true, but it's not. The system works by monitoring how well the driver is doing behind the wheel, which means that insurance companies can provide more accurate premiums.

The Just Add Fuel package is another innovative solution offered by Peugeot. It allows young drivers to enjoy real motoring independence for a fixed monthly fee. This package includes servicing, car tax, warranty, and roadside assistance for three years. The best part? Drivers don't need to worry about anything except remembering to add fuel to their car. This system is available to drivers aged 21 or over with at least two years' no claims discount. However, drivers from just 18 years old with no previous experience can still take advantage of the Just Add Fuel scheme on certain models within Peugeot's range.

For those who are considering getting behind the wheel for the first time, driving a new Peugeot could be an ideal option. The company offers a package that allows young drivers to enjoy their newfound independence without worrying about car insurance costs or other expenses. This means that they can focus on their daily life and responsibilities without any financial burdens. On top of all this, drivers can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing their insurance is covered for three years, not just one.

One might wonder who can benefit from this package. The answer is anyone. Whether it's a young driver looking to get behind the wheel for the first time or an experienced driver looking for a new car, Peugeot's Just Add Fuel system has something to offer. The company's innovative approach to car insurance makes it easy for drivers to enjoy their motoring experiences without worrying about financial costs.
