Going Green, Even on the Road

Next time you’re shopping around for Pennsylvania car insurance quotes, keep in mind that there are now options available for drivers who are making an effort at reducing their environmental impact. ‘Green’ insurance policies are many and varied and may include the following:

Those who have taken the step of buying a hybrid car may be eligible for a discount of up to 10% on car insurance. You may also be able to purchase an endorsement that will allow you to replace your car with a similar-model hybrid in the event of a theft or major accident. Those that choose alternative fuel sources such as biodiesel, electricity, natural gas, hydrogen or ethanol can often receive insurance discounts.

Another program that is available in some circumstances is the Pay as You Drive program, where drivers who use their car less often or travel fewer miles than average can be rewarded with lower premiums. To qualify for this program, data will need to be collected from your car by either a GPS unit or odometer reading.

Whether you are looking at purchasing an energy-efficient vehicle or just doing your small part for the environment by driving less, be sure to ask about discounts when obtaining Pennsylvania car insurance quotes. Your local agent will be able to answer any questions you have regarding a whole range of ‘green’ driving insurance policies.
