Cheap car insurance firm reveals offsetting figures

Cheap car insurance company ibuyeco has revealed that its customers have offset more than 18,000 tonnes of CO2 since it was launched to coincide with World Environment Day in June 2007.

Ladies who sign up to a "green" car insurance policy with ibuyeco have all of their car-related carbon emissions offset for a price that is included in their motor insurance quote.

The cheap car insurance company has calculated that the 18,000 tonnes of CO2 offset by ibuyeco customers so far is roughly equivalent to the emissions produced by the whole of Devon town Totnes in a whole year.

A spokesperson for the eco-friendly motor insurer said: "We are delighted with the response so far and ibuyeco seems to resonate strongly with consumers. With UK road traffic accounting for twenty five per cent of all CO2 emissions there was huge demand for an insurance product that helped counteract the damaging effect our every day use of the car was making.

"ibuyeco is a practical step for people to make whilst also giving them a competitive insurance quote," the spokesperson finished.

*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).
