Drivers who are looking to purchase a new car could also be considering how to reduce their carbon footprint, it has been suggested.
A new survey from Auto Trader suggests that people may now be considering the environment as much as they think about
car insurance and driving licences.
Out of the 2,000 motorists that replied to the car magazine's poll, 40 per cent said they were considering buying a hybrid vehicle.
As well as this, more than 60 per cent said that they thought gas-guzzling vehicles should be taxed more highly.
The Guardian's ethical living blog notes that cheaper green cars are on their way to the market, which could leave potential car buyers with money to spend on a car insurance policy.
Meanwhile, director of the Sexy Green Car show Gus Grand told Female First that the public are increasingly interested in becoming more eco-friendly with their driving.
Car insurance from
InsureandGo can cover the purchase of any type of vehicle.
