For several years, Peugeot has been enticing customers with its ‘Just Add Fuel’ scheme. It is available with several cars in the current Peugeot range, including the likes of the 108, 208 and 308.
What Peugeot Just Add Fuel does is save customers the hassle of organising the likes of finance, insurance, road tax and servicing costs, by including all of these costs in one simple monthly payment.
A customer can choose a particular car that’s available and arrange to pay fixed monthly instalments over a certain period of time. You can also opt to buy the car at the end of this agreement.
The monthly payments will factor in things like the financial cost of using the car for a month, plus insurance cover and breakdown assistance. It means that provided the customer can meet these monthly payments, the only other occasions they will spend money on their car is when they refuel it.
Of course, the exact monthly payments which the customer must pay will depend on factors such as the chosen car and whether a car can be part exchanged.
How Just Add Fuel can appeal to young drivers
Previously, Peugeot made it’s Just Add Fuel scheme eligible to drivers 21 years old or over. But since the first quarter of 2016, the scheme has been expanded to make drivers as young as 18 eligible.
Drivers as young as 18 can afford themselves a Just Add Fuel deal on a new Peugeot by getting an insurance policy which includes a plug-in telematic box, which will track their driving behaviour.
Like with other telematic boxes, the ones used for Peugeots under Just Add Fuel keeps track of things like speed and G-forces while the driver is behind the wheel and rates how they are driving.
The driver can receive feedback on how to improve their driving from their online assessments. If the telematics box records frequent bad driving, then the driver will receive warnings and could even be kicked off their insurance policy. But consistently good driving reports should lead to a reduction in insurance premiums and therefore a reduction in monthly payments.
While the telematics insurance is aimed predominantly at Just Add Fuel customers aged 18 to 20, it is also available to drivers aged 21 to 75. This is provided they have had a licence for fewer than two years and hold below two years no-claim bonus.
Bear in mind that there are certain restrictions on what cars motorists can access under Just Add Fuel depending on whether they’re under 21, under 25 or under 30.
