The benefits to owning a hybrid car just keep growing.

Not only do you reduce your carbon footprint, help the planet, reduce your gasoline expense and potentially qualify for a tax credit, but you may now get a fat 10% deduction on your car insurance from companies like Travelers and Farmers Insurance Group.

Recent stats show that, though repairs on hybrids may be more expensive, green car buyers tend to drive more carefully and with fewer fender benders and bodily injuries – thus reducing insurance claims.
