Green car insurance

Finding a great green car insurance dealReturn to top

Companies are waking up to the fact that most people want everything they buy to be clean and green, and insurance is no different. Shopping for insurance used to be a time consuming and boring affair, but a plethora of comparison sites have solved this problem once and for all. For those environmentally-conscious amongst you, however, you can still get a great deal without sacrificing the earth. WhatGreenCar.com have looked at the insurance market to provide a round-up of the best companies and sites to look at when it's time to renew your policy.

Shopping around for insurance is one thing; dealing with that company afterwards and in the event of a claim should also be an important consideration. For ease of access, however, should you want to communicate with your insurer, Swinton.co.uk comes out on top. In 2007 their car insurance website was named the best performing insurance website by SiteMorse.com, the website testing and monitoring company. Swinton are unique in having a large network of high street branches, as well as UK call centres, so if you want to get in touch, they really do offer the most choice.

However, by going direct to any insurance company, you're never sure of getting the best deal, so we recommend using a comparison site to find the right policy. Out of all the comparison sites, Gocompare.com currently has the most comprehensive panel, allowing you to compare car insurance from over 70 insurers, including environmentally friendly insurance companies such as ibuyeco.co.uk, and The Green Insurance Company, part of Kwik Fit Car Insurance. These environmentally friendly insurers use part of your insurance premium to offset your vehicle's carbon emissions. Recognising the growing demand for carbon-neutral products, other insurers such eGreenInsurance.co.uk also offer Green Insurance - the new buzzword across the insurance industry.
