How Buying a Hybrid Can Knock Up to 10% Off Your Arizona Car Insurance

Save the desert and your wallet when you buy a hybrid.

It seems like you can’t even turn on the television today without seeing an advertisement for some sort of hybrid, their impact on the environment and the amount of money you can save on your Arizona car insurance by driving one. In fact, I think I can count on one hand the number of television shows I’ve watched this week that haven’t taken a commercial break at some point or another to laud the economic and environmental accolades of the Toyota Prius. Just the Prius, nothing else. Sometimes I feel like I’m going to make the environmentalists’ Most Wanted list for not hopping on the bandwagon yet!

If someone sees a man in a black suit holding a pitchfork standing outside my door let me know, won’t you?

The good news is that there are some great savings to be had on your gas expenses and your Arizona car insurance rates by picking up a hybrid of your very own. For starters, did you know that the Toyota Prius ran conventional cars into the ground when it first hit the market in terms of mileage out on the highways? The last number I heard was something like 48 miles to the gallon, and that was assuming you didn’t practice any of the gas saving driving tricks that hit the airwaves last summer when gas prices reached an all time high.

The amount of emissions that these little cars give off are dramatically lower than the average gas guzzling, solely fuel powered engine too. Since the electric battery picks up after the petro gets it going there aren’t tons of fumes being released into the air, so there’s less damage to the ozone layer. And by preserving the ozone layer you’re not only preserving your earth for your children, you’re also preserving the amount of money you’re going to spend cooling your house this summer!

In an effort to encourage this type of fiscal and environmental responsibility Arizona car insurance providers are offering drivers some great discounts just for driving a hybrid. In fact, some companies are offering discounts as high as 10% off your car insurance rates just for hopping behind the wheel of a hybrid-quite a coup when you consider the fact that this is before you start tacking on the Prius’s various safety features and the fact that because your insurer isn’t going to have to pay an arm and a leg to replace it you’re going to save money the minute you sign the lease.

When it’s all said and done, everybody wins. I guess this means I’m going to have to consider shopping around for a hybrid the next time I’m looking for a new car after all.
