A Hemel Hempstead garage is offering young drivers the chance to save on some of the expenses of motoring.

The Evans Halshaw Vauxhall dealership on Two Waters Road has teamed up with Black Box insurance provider Ingenie to offer those aged 18 to 20 insurance at just £99 for an entire year.

The area’s youthful motorists can take advantage of the offer when they have a Telematics box fitted in a new Corsa Limited Edition or Corsa Excite.

The black box measures the driver’s speed, acceleration, braking and cornering in order to assess the driver’s safety for insurance purposes and is fitted at no extra cost. Unlike other insurance devices, there are no curfews and drivers won’t be fined for driving at night – its purpose is simply to create better, safer drivers.

Neil Michaelson, dealer principal at Evans Halshaw, said: “Knowing your child is new to the road is worrying enough, without having to be concerned over things like vehicle condition and costs.

“We are keen to show parents and younger drivers alike that owning, driving and insuring a car doesn’t have to cost the earth.

“The Corsa is an extremely popular car with young drivers and this new offer means that those aged 18 to 20 can be covered in a brand new car for just £99 for the entire year’s premium. This means parents can feel assured that their children are driving a safe, new vehicle at a price they can afford.”

The offer is available until September 30. For more details, visit the showroom, call 01442 251 212 or visit evanshalshaw.com.
