What is Young Marmalade?

Young Marmalade is a combined car purchase and comprehensive insurance scheme linked to a selection of vehicles.

Safety and Insurance

The high cost of insurance has a knock on effect on the safety of the young driver. Young drivers and their parents are being forced to compromise by buying older cars which lack modern safety features such as ABS brakes, airbags etc.

Young Marmalade controls the age of the car, the safety rating, the size of the engine and insists upon additional driver tuition. By maximising safety for the driver, passengers and other road users and minimising the risks, Young Marmalade has secured a unique low cost insurance policy at the heart of the scheme.

Paying for the Car

This is entirely flexible and designed to suit your budget.

Here are a few suggestions in order of popularity.

• Personal Contract Purchase - currently the most popular method
• Cash
• Hire Purchase

Finance is subject to status. Applicants for finance must be a minimum of 18 years old and UK resident.

An application or a guarantee from a parent with an established credit history stands a greater chance of acceptance.

However, there is nothing to stop the agreement being in the name of a parent with the payments being made by the young driver.
