Toyota Aygo Free Insurance Deal Offers Big Savings Potential for Younger Drivers
Young drivers are being given the chance to bid bye-bye to bangers and get behind the wheel of a brand new Aygo in a Toyota deal that delivers a year’s free car insurance.
With annual premiums hitting four figures, younger people’s dreams of a new car are being shattered by prohibitive prices, triggered by the poor driving record of some of their peers. It’s a reality check that may mean their only option is to settle for the cheapest used cars on the market, which can be unreliable and low on safety features.
Toyota’s solution is to offer a new Aygo with one year’s free cover from Toyota Motor Insurance on new cars financed through Access Toyota*. Toyota calculates this could mean significant savings for 18 to 20-year-old motorists. It’s not just young people who can benefit though; the offer is open to drivers 18 and older who have held a full driving licence for more than a year.
Eligible drivers take advantage of the offer on their choice of model*, adding any of Aygo’s cool customisation features to create a truly individual set of wheels.
For those aged between 18 and 24, the Toyota dealer will fit the car with a “black box” device which will capture data on driving behaviour. This information will help demonstrate that they are responsible drivers, and help them secure lower premiums when the free policy comes to an end.
Andrew Cullis, Marketing Director for Toyota (GB) PLC said: “A generation of new drivers is at risk of being priced out of the market, or being forced to settle for the oldest and least reliable vehicles, just to keep costs manageable. We want to provide an affordable way of enjoying all the freedom and fun that driving a brand new car can offer, while encouraging the kind of good driving that will earn lower insurance bills in the future.
“Aygo is a fantastic first car, offering great style, easy-to-drive performance, excellent safety and low day-to-day running costs. Now with the added benefit of a year’s free insurance, it’s a perfect choice for those starting out as drivers.”
With its characterful three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine, Aygo offers official fuel economy from 68.9mpg and CO2 emissions from 95g/km, which means no annual road tax (VED) charge. The three and five-door range may be compact, but it lacks nothing in terms of safety: every Aygo is equipped with front, side and curtain airbags, ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Vehicle Stability Control. Further advanced safety technology can be added to all versions bar the entry-point Aygo x with Toyota Safety Sense. This option provides a Pre-Collision System with Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Alert; when fitted it also gives the car a lower insurance group rating for even lower running costs.
