Green Car Insurance - Go for Eco Friendly Car Insurance
Price comparison sites have come out with interesting facts about the eco-friendly car cover. People often tend to opt for hybrid cars as a part of the go green trend but if they compare the insurance expenditure, they are sure to think again. Price comparison researches done by the website reveal that eco-friendly drivers will have to pay more for the car insurance when compared to non-eco-friendly ones.
Statistics reveal that premiums are over 105% expensive when compared to that of standard insurance policies. The insurance provider’s ibuyeco and Green Insurance offset 100% of the carbon emission of the car. However motorists need to keep in mind that clearing the carbon conscience will come at an extra cost. When Swiftcover quotes £342 for eco-friendly Honda Civic, for the same cover CIS charges £389 and Green Car Insurance charges £701, which is 105% more!
Peter Gerrard, head of insurance research at a comparison website, offers expert advice for those driving eco-friendly cars or planning to opt one. He appreciates the measures taken by the Government in protecting the environment. However advises motorists that eco-friendly car insurance is not the best place to start in regard to going green. He also comes with a valuable tip for the non-eco-friendly drivers – for ordinary cars CIS promises to offset 20% of one’s carbon emission by investment in reforestation and renewable energy sources and this is indeed very competitive for car insurance. He concludes saying that giving some of the money directly for eco-friendly causes is the best measure as a part of going green.
