Travelers Insurance Offers Hybrid Discounts in 44 States

Hybrid owners in 44 states across the US (sorry, Alaska, Hawaii, Massachusetts, North and South Dakota & West Virginia) can now get a 10% discount on their auto insurance through Travelers Insurance. We first heard about the discount way back in January of this year; just last week, Georgia was added to the list, following the addition of California, New Jersey, Texas, New York, Maryland, Florida, Kentucky and Washington to bring the running total to 44 states. The discount seems to be enticing enough to lure quite a few new drivers; compared to the previous 12-month average, new hybrid car business for Travelers has more than doubled. To help raise awareness about the discount and hybrid driving in general, Travelers created hybridtravelers.com to provide info on up-to-date federal and state tax benefits and other perks for hybrid drivers, as well as obtain policy information and get an insurance quote. ::Hybrid Travelers via ::AutoblogGreen

Ironic that they use San Francisco in the backdrop, where most people don't drive at all!
Travelers is such crap insurance, IMHO. I have NOT had good experiences with them. They'll screw you on any claim. And if you argue with them, they'll drop you in a heart beat.
