Pay less for your insurance
You could pay less for your insurance if you take a Ride Drive driving course and show acceptable improvement in your driving skills.
According to the advanced driving techniques school, the scheme works like this:
- Complete any Ride Drive programme that spans a full day or more.
- If Ride Drive is happy that the customer has developed to a standard whereby they represent a low risk level, that will allow entry onto the scheme.
- The successful candidate, at the time his or her policy is up for renewal, will then need to telephone Adrian Flux Insurance the Ride Drive scheme hotline and whatever they have been quoted on their renewal notice, Adrian Flux will better the price by 25 per cent.
- Providing the candidate remains claim-free, the discount applies to every renewal of policy thereafter.
Julian Smith, Director at Ride Drive Limited, said: “For years I have been relentlessly knocking on insurance company doors trying to find one to not only accept that developing driving skills to an advanced level equates to a significantly reduced level of risk, but who were prepared to reward those who voluntarily develop their skills by offering a substantial discount against their insurance premiums. This has now been achieved, and through a new partnership between Ride Drive and Adrian Flux Insurance, whether on four-wheels or on two, the motorist can now earn an impressive 25 per cent discount from the normal annual premium rate.”
Craig Darwin, spokesman for Adrian Flux insurance said: “There is a strong public perception that insurance industry is always taking and never giving, as can be seen here, is not the case. We have taken the innovative approach to reward those motorists who are prepared to raise their skill level through successfully completing the Ride Drive programme, as we feel this demonstrates a healthy driver attitude towards road safety and responsible driving.
“We want this to be totally transparent. If we can build up a pool of customers who are not making claims then that will be the great success we are hoping for, which means we can afford to reduce annual premiums for those who support the scheme.”
