I may have to look into this when my Prius finally comes in. http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories....+2006,+06:30+AM
I've emailed the link to my agent to see if my insurance company is planning a similar move. Thanks for the info. B)
Perhaps they noticed that hybrid owners are driving more conservatively to maximize MPGs, and their at-fault accident rate could be down. Maybe Allstate will follow...
I was just quoted an "Alternative Fueled Vechicle" (available for alternative and/or Gas/Electric Hybrids) discount by Farmers in CA. Maybe it's just a CA thing tho.
Dispite "no hybrid discount" State Farm charges me less for my Prius than they were for my 1998 Honda Accord EX, same coverage. I was plesently surprised because every other time I've bought a new car my rates have gone up due to the increased value of the vehicle. I ask my agent why and she told me it was because of the safety features of the Prius, extra air bags, VSC, etc.
