GreenHome Upgrade and 5% Discount With the new GreenHome Upgrade, you can add additional protection to your existing Travelers policy – protection that will help you repair, replace or rebuild with green materials after a loss. And if your home or condo is already certified green by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, you could save 5% on your premiums. If your home is damaged or destroyed by a covered accident or peril, Travelers will pay an additional amount toward costs associated with green materials and methods. So if your recipe for chicken flambé results in kitchen flambé, you could repair the damage with sustainable resources including cabinets crafted from recycled materials, Energy-Star appliances, or paints made from zero VOC (volatile organic compound). We’ll also help pay to have the debris recycled and have your home certified (or re-certified) green after a loss.
Environment Progressive (NYSE: PGR) has worked with the Arbor Day Foundation to establish a program in which Progressive plants one sapling tree in a U.S. forest for every online customer who chooses to use less paper by paying their bills electronically. Since the program began 1.5 million trees have been planted. .
Electric Vehicles and Hybrid Discount With gas prices at record highs across Texas - electric, hybrid and smart cars are generating more interest than ever before. While we’ve written hybrids for as long as they've been on the road, we now offer coverage for additional models of electric, hybrid, and smart cars.
Travelers personal lines, a member of St. Paul Travelers (NYSE:STA), announced plans to implement a 10 percent discount* on auto insurance to hybrid Texas vehicle owners in 2006. Travelers is the first auto insurance company to begin implementing a discount for hybrid owners nationwide.
Travelers (NYSE: TRV), a leading provider of boat and other personal insurance products, is launching a first in the industry insurance premium discount* of up to 10 percent for those owning electrically powered boats. Whether boaters are interested in a quieter boating experience, or if they are seeking environmentally friendly boating solutions that help save money on annual fuel costs, electric boats can provide the right alternative for this segment of boaters.
These are just several in a series of changes made in an effort to support our environment. Other initiatives include discounts for some customers who use sustainable materials in building, a paper-reduction campaign in our office, lowering our own vehicle emissions, shopping at local businesses and supporting community farmers.
* A discount of up to 10 percent applies only to certain coverages. The discount may not be available in all states and is subject to individual eligibility ** Travelers defines an electric boat as a vessel 100 percent powered by a propeller driven, electric in-board source where utility power is stored on board.
