Going green and purchasing an “eco-friendly” car insurance policy could well leave the motorist paying more than they bargained for in their bid to become a protagonist for helping the environment.
The car itself may be a state of the art eco-friendly vehicle offering super eco-friendly driving with its combination of battery and petrol powered engine, but try to make a further contribution by purchasing an insurance policy with one of the green insurers and you could find yourself paying significantly more than that being quoted by your less eco-friendly insurers.
Gocompare.com reports a 49 year old government office worker with no convictions or medical conditions and maximum no claims bonus will pay Swinton Insurance £199.89 for an annual insurance policy on an eco-friendly Toyota Prius whilst Ibuyeco offer a premium of £251.51, some 26% higher.
Whilst commendable that environmentally conscious insurers offer something back to the environment and yes, it is acknowledged that there are non eco-friendly insurers out the quoting more than Ibuyeco’s annual premium, but with the economic climate and financial pressures being experienced by most, there is little encouragement to drivers to switch and support the environment when they are being asked to pay around a quarter more for their policy if they want to be eco-friendly and put something back.
Shopping around for the best value motor insurance for your circumstances is more important than ever at the moment, and then if you can afford it, why not just donate the money you save to an eco-friendly charity of your choice. UK drivers are having to watch every penny at the moment and paying over the odds is unnecessary.
