Green motorists save money whilst protecting the environment, according to a cheap car insurance website.
Motorinsurance.co.uk, which compares car insurance quotes from over 100 UK insurers, is advising motorists that buying a green vehicle such as an electric or hybrid car could mean significant savings on road tax and other costs.
A spokesperson for the cheap car insurance site explained: "Generally it is believed that electric and hybrid vehicles offer better fuel consumption, cheaper tax costs and start in lower insurance bands, therefore reducing the overall running cost of the car."
However, he warned that the actual cost of motor insurance will depend on the type of car and personal factors.
He also commented: "With a mass introduction of hybrid and electric vehicles, repair costs may be reduced through the market, however the cost of repairing hybrid and electric vehicles differ from manufacturer to manufacturer and this is something that is factored into a customer's final quote for insurance cover."

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
