Vauxhall has launched a new service and maintenance plan aiming to take the financial uncertainty out of keeping cars and vans on the road.

Fleet customers can budget for monthly payments of £29.99 on cars and small vans, or £31.99 for the Vivaro and Movano.

Doing so should remove unexpectedly large servicing and repair bills, making management of running costs easier.

The package includes not only routine servicing but also wear and tear to components such as brakes, tyres and exhaust systems.

All parts and labour costs are covered, along with essential repairs to wear and tear items, from wiper blades to brakes.

The plan does not, however, cover accidental or malicious damage.

The plan is available on new Vauxhall cars and vans bought from authorised retailers during the first three years/60,000 miles of ownership.
