Vauxhall has extended its insurance offer on selected Adam and Corsa models.

Young drivers (18- to 20-year-olds) can now use Vauxhall’s £99 first year insurance deal on both Adam Slam and Corsa Limited Edition models. On the same models, those aged 21 and over can get free insurance.

The deal involved drivers having an Ingenie telematics box installed in their car.

Leon Caruso, Vauxhall’s retail sales director, said: “We wanted to extend our young driver insurance offer to include our best-selling Corsa to help even more young motorists get on the road.”

Vauxhall has also just launched its own scrappage allowance scheme which allows customers to trade in their car for a £2,000 discount on selected models.

Rival volume manufacturer Ford recently increased its insurance contributions to offer young drivers between 18-24 up to £2,240 towards insurance on selected Fiesta models or up to £1,110 towards insuring  Ka to help reduce the cost of motoring.
