Carculator.ie shows how much your car costs to run

Motorcheck.ie, in association with Renault Ireland, has launched 'Carculator.ie' website that allows users estimate the running costs of their current car for comparison against an equivalent model in Renault's 2013 product range.

'Carculator.ie' is a fun and easy-to-use website that takes your current car and, together with your annual mileage estimates its runnign costs for 2013. Tax, fuel, routine servicing, tyre costs repairs and NCT costs are all calculated for you in one place so that you can see just how much your current motor is costing you.

It then gives you some options from the new Renault range and shows you how you can save money per annum, including lowest tax rates, lower fuel costs, warranty included and low servicing costs. Calculating the cost of ownership makes for some interesting reading for car owners.

Shane Teskey, co-founder, Motorcheck.ie says: "The feedback we are getting since going live with carculator.ie shows that the majority of carculations demonstrate that new Renault vehicles compare very favourably against older, less efficient cars on the road."

Once the running costs have been identified, a favourable comparison with an equivalent model from the Renault range would illustrate just how economical and inexpensive to run their new cars are and encourage users of the service to book a test drive.

Renault Ireland will guarantee the price of your new 2013 Renault no matter what the budget brings next months for orders placed before 31 December 2012.
