Are
hybrids less
expensive to
insure than
traditional
gas guzzlers?
Not
really.
Hybrids
may offer huge
savings at the
gas pump, but
insurance companies
use other information
to determine
baseline insurance
rates.
For
instance, your
hybrid may be
more expensive
to repair than
traditional
vehicles due
to its high-tech
engine components
and body design.
Statistically,
your hybrid
vehicle could
be involved
in more wrecks
or have a high
rate of theft
and vandalism.
Risk
factors like
these and your
personal driving
history play
significant
roles in determining
how much you
pay for insurance.
