Green insurance for your fuel-efficient vehicle
If you have a hybrid, say, or a fuel-efficient diesel, has ClimateSure insurance got a deal for you. The lower the emissions generated by your vehicle, the better the insurance policy they'll give you, plus they donate a percentage to their parent company, Climate Care for carbon-offset strategies. "An average driver with a family car such as a Ford Mondeo will see about 10% of their premium go towards offsetting their emissions." And their rates are competitive - "A couple in their sixties driving a Toyota Prius are quoted a premium of £162 a year, compared with a cost of £164 from the AA and £175 from Direct Line." How serious are they? Well, check out their rates for people who are not green.
"Climatesure quotes £803 a year for a couple with a Lexus, less than Norwich Union Direct and the AA, but cover is available for £675 at Direct Line." That's quite a difference! Great to see a company putting its money where its mouth is. For more on this story, see the Guardian. [GT]
