On the heels of the recently signed legislation by Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger that promises to reduce California's greenhouse emissions
by 25 percent by the year 2020, Travelers announced today a solution to
help support that goal. California hybrid owners can now take advantage
of a 10 percent discount(a) on auto insurance offered by Travelers.
“The new legislation aimed at reducing
greenhouse emissions shows California is taking noticeable measures to
improve the environment,” said Peter Betts,
Travelers regional vice president for California. “We
hope our discount offer for hybrid owners will help support an
eco-friendly action plan for California and its residents.”
Commonly known as an eco-conscious state, Californians registered 52,619
new hybrid vehicles in 2005. At a distant second, Florida registered
10,470 hybrids, followed by Texas, New York and Virginia. Los Angeles
tops the list of hybrid-driving cities with 22,922 new hybrid cars
registered, followed by San Francisco with 15,828. New York, Washington
D.C. and Boston complete the top five.1
“California has long been a trendsetting state
whose example the rest of the nation often follows, and Californians
have embraced the hybrid car in a big way,”
said Greg Toczydlowski, senior vice president of product management for
Travelers. “We salute this spirit of
forward-looking innovation and will continue to develop products and
services that evolve to fit the changing needs of our California
customers.”
At www.hybridtravelers.com
visitors can review up-to-date information on federal and state tax
benefits for hybrid drivers and enjoy other community incentives, such
as discounted or free parking, and can share their stories as “hybrid
travelers.” For fun, the site features the
Early Adopt-o-meter, which ranks visitors’
penchants for embracing new technologies. Visitors can also access an
agent locator and obtain policy information.
Earlier this year, Travelers became the first auto insurance company to
offer a discount to hybrid drivers on a national level and has been
steadily rolling out the discount state by state. The company has
recently made the discount available in New York, Maryland, Florida,
Washington and Texas, bringing the total number of states in which the
discount is offered to 42 plus the District of Columbia.
The discount for hybrid drivers is the latest in a long series of firsts
for the company that wrote the first automobile insurance policy in
1897. Other firsts include the first policy covering electronic data
processing liability in 1961, the first policy to protect individuals
using personal computers for online banking in 1997, and the first
insurance company to offer consumers protection against identity fraud
in 1999.
