The Co-op gives young drivers chance to insure their car for free
With more than 2,000 drivers passing their test on average each day, The Co-operative Insurance is giving all young drivers another chance to celebrate with the opportunity to get one year's insurance for free.
To mark the launch of a new Facebook page for The Co-operative Insurance, drivers can share their story of what passing their test means to them via The Big Test application on the page. Entrants will be in with a chance of winning one years free car insurance or one of the Garmin sat-navs up for grabs each week.
The competition is open to drivers who have just passed their test, those who are yet to get their drivers licence and people who have been on the road for a while. Entrants just need to upload either a photo or video describing how they celebrated, or plan to celebrate passing their test. The most popular entry each week will be rewarded with a Sat Nav, worth £100. The winner of the overall competition will receive one year's free Young Driver Insurance from The Co-operative, potentially saving them thousands of pounds.
Young Driver Insurance from The Co-operative comes with a Smartbox that allows drivers between the age of 17 and 24 to cut the cost of their insurance through safer driving.
"Passing your test is always a memorable occasion but getting on the road for the first time comes with lots of responsibility and cost," said Grant Mitchell, Head of Motor Insurance at The Co-operative Insurance.
"Our recent research found that it costs on average £4,459 to get on the road and insurance makes up a large proportion of this amount. We've already introduced our Young Driver Insurance to help young people cut high premiums but now drivers have the chance to get completely free cover for a year, just by getting creative on our Facebook page."
The Facebook application also features driving tips to help drivers pass their test first time and funny driving stories, including the South London woman who has failed her driving theory test 91 times.
