Go Green and Save on Your Auto Lease
Hybrid vehicles’ popularity has sharply grown from a couple
of thousands in early 2000 to close to 300,000 by the end of 2005. The trend is rapidly catching with the auto-leasing industry with
generous tax credits
and incentives on offer if you go green.
Beginning in 2006, businesses and taxpayers who lease, or
purchase, an
environmentally-friendly and fuel-efficient vehicle will be eligible to claim federal
income tax credits worth thousands of dollars. Individual states also offer
generous incentives, including hybrid state tax credits, new High-Occupancy
Vehicle (HOV) lanes access and discounted thruway tolls for
alternative-fuelled vehicles.
And that’s not all you can save from going green! You can now
save on your
parking fees at a number of universities and some auto-insurance companies
are offering insurance discounts for hybrid-vehicle owners
nationwide.
If you want to take advantage of these incentives and
contribute to energy
conservation then visit HybridCenter.org and complete a personal profile
about your driving needs and habits. You will get in-depth advice on
hybrid
models that would make economic sense to you and local, state and federal
incentives available where you live.
