Financial and environmental benefits are becoming more important to motorists but it has not always been possible to get both when taking out a car insurance policy. Now, a new concept in comparing cover has arrived to help consumers save money and go green with their motoring.
Gogreencompare.com is a unique search service aimed at reducing the cost of motoring for both the driver and the planet by offering cheap car insurance deals with the added bonus of reducing carbon emissions. Launched earlier this year, the car insurance comparison website allows Brits to save money and protect the environment quickly, easily and for free.
As people become more aware of the impact their vehicles have on climate change there is a growing interest in saving carbon. By giving drivers the option to offset the carbon emissions of their car or bike at no extra cost, gogreencompare.com keeps pockets and the planet happy. Other sites charge extra for green car insurance premiums, but the gogreencompare.com service is completely free and allows motorists to make great savings on their policies at the same time.
“Gogreencompare.com is a brand new and exciting venture that was born out of our firm belief that people who want to do their bit for the environment should not have to pay a premium to go green,” commented founder Terence Bailey. “Gogreencompare.com offers a free and easy car insurance comparison service with a green, ethical stance to global warming.”
Carbon offsetting is free for motorists using gogreencompare.com as around half of the commission received from insurance providers every time a policy is taken out goes towards helping the planet. This money is paid to co2balance, an organisation which funds carbon offsetting projects worldwide. These initiatives, such as renewable energy plants and energy efficient stoves, help to limit the impact that carbon emissions from vehicles in the UK have on the environment and also aid local communities.
For each car insurance policy agreed through gogreencompare.com 1.5 tons of carbon is offset – around half of a car’s annual amount. For bike insurance policies 1 ton of carbon is offset – three-quarters of the emissions produced by a bike in a year. And this is at no extra cost to the motorist; gogreencompare.com does it because of a commitment to helping the planet.
The green insurance service is not only free it’s also quick and easy to use. Gogreencompare.com compiles deals from more than 90 different insurance providers and all motorists have to do is fill in a short form. Results are displayed on a single page so they can be compared at a glance and saved so they can be completed at a later date.
With gogreencompare.com consumers get the best deal on their car or bike insurance and the environment wins too. “The recession has highlighted more than ever the need for all of us to take better control of our finances and avoid paying over the odds,” Terence added. “With our comparison service you will never need to pay a premium for green insurance.”
