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.

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!
