Is 'offset' car insurance value for money?


14/ 4/2008

SOME insurers now offer `offset' car insurance deals, but are they value for money? We've compared green deals with our current Best Buys.

We got online quotes from a selection of companies for a 54-year-old man living in west London, driving a 2007 petrol Ford Focus 8,000 miles a year. We then repeated the exercise for an eco-friendly hybrid Toyota Prius.

   the reality is that people don't actually take the lowest quote and then offset independently.

Insurance policies that include 100% offsets are at least making a positive contribution with minimal effort - something which unfortunately is key to making a difference!
