So you have just gone in for the latest conversion kit to renovate your car into an eco friendly vehicle. Or you might be among the lucky ones who have just purchased a brand new green car. There is no doubt that you are helping the earth with your decision that will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide pollution. Surely the insurance companies too will help you by offering lower insurance rates for your eco friendly cars. Be prepared for a shock, for recent research has shown that it costs nearly 100% more to insure a green car, compared to insuring normal cars.
In fact one can find comparison charts on may sites on the Internet that will testify how costly it is to get a green car insured. While it is laudable to go in for green car insurance, you need to weight the pros and cons before you make up your mind and finalize the insurance deal. All said and done, there are some insurance agents, though they are a minority, who do offer lower premiums to owners of green cars. They believe that they too should play their part to help those who are helping the world to overcome pollution caused by normal cars. I guess this is a PR-reason, but who cares, as long as you get your discount, no?
