Summary
Green Insurance investment in forestry projects to offset harmful carbon emissions is a great example to the rest of the motor insurance industry, and it’s no bad thing that we motorists should be reminded of our impact as vehicle owners. (Green Insurance offers use of a free online carbon calculator). We like the no-nonsense information presented in the significant exclusions of the three UK policies by this Scottish company, but the benefits should be spelt out more precisely. But here’s rather more clarity in the European cover detail (replacement driver and repatriation limitations and so on – and you’ll be pleased to know you’ll be covered for up to 60 days of Continental motoring during the year!)
