Drivers who are concerned about the environment can choose to offset 100% of the emissions given out by their car if they take out car insurance from the Green Insurance Company.

As well as offsetting the carbon emissions by planting trees and investing money in renewable resources, the Green Insurance Company also donates 5% of its profites to charity and gives a ‘low emissions’ discount to drivers who choose energy efficient vehicles.

This policy can not only help the environment but can also help drivers to save money, the company is offering a 12.5% discount for buying online and options meaning drivers can choose the level of cover they need.

The Green Insurance Company also gives its customers tips on how to save money and keep green, an example is slowing to 50 miles per hour which will use 30% less fuel than travelling at 70 miles per hour.
