Car Insurance News

Students with an eco-friendly conscience are being encouraged to go green with their car insurance.

The Green Insurance Company is a car insurance provider which donates money to charities that aim to lower the carbon footprint.

On the website of the company, it comments: "If you have a car, you need car insurance. Why not get insured and help save the planet too? If you insure with us, your car's CO2 emissions will be completely offset by using trees that will absorb the same amount of CO2 that your car produces."

A discount of five per cent is also offered to drivers of cars which are fuel-efficient.

The company is also offering drivers advice on how they can help the environment while driving, such as slowing down to 50 mph instead of 70 mph as cars use an average of 30 per cent less fuel at this speed.

In related news, a report has found that 15 per cent of British drivers admit that they have driven a car in the past which they have not been insured to drive.

The research from moneysupermarket.com also revealed that six per cent of people had driven their own car without any cover.
