USA Today reports that Travelers Group will offer a 10 percent discount for owners of gas/electric
hybrids. According to the insurance company, hybrid owners are classed in its “preferred group” – married,
ages 41-60, of either gender.
The discount does not include personal injury and uninsured motorist
components of drivers’ insurance package, but nonetheless should amount to about a $100 saving annually.
Why
members of Travellers “preferred group” should suddenly become safer drivers when they jump behind the wheel
of a hybrid remains a mystery. State Farm isn’t buying it – they have no plans to follow Travelers’ lead.
