More Than insurers are extending their eco-discount for environmentally-friendly motor insurance by offering drivers of alternatively fuelled cars a discount of up to 15%.
Both new and existing customers who drive converted LPG vehicles, bi-fuel, FFV, biopower, dual-fuel and electric cars will feel the benefit of cheaper car insurance, as well as finding that they are exempt from the congestion charge in London and are eligible for cut-price road tax.
Mike Holliday-Williams, Managing Director of More Than, commented: "The launch of our eco-car discount for all alternative fuel vehicles is another way we're encouraging our customers to 'go green'.
"In December 2006 More Than and our parent company Royal & SunAlliance became the first UK insurer to go carbon neutral and we're encouraging customers to do their bit for the environment by incentivising and rewarding green behaviour."
Alternative fuels aren't just better for the environment, they're cheaper too. With petrol prices approaching £1 per litre in some parts of Britain, research from More Than showed that 80% of drivers are concerned about fuel prices.
A further 36% were consciously trying to economise by limiting use of their vehicle to essential journeys only and using public transport more often.
As well as the financial rewards which can be gained from going green, 48% of motorists said that they were seriously concerned about the impact that full petrol cars have on the environment, with 40% of motorists adding that they would consider switching to a more eco-friendly vehicle for the environmental benefits.
