Hybrid Cars run on a combination of gasoline and an alternate power source: Some run on a rechargeable battery which captures kinetic energy through “regenerative braking,” while others run on hydrogen gas. Hybrid cars have a solid fuel economy, and are not much more expensive than cars that run on gasoline alone.

As hybrid cars are part of a relatively new, growing technology, repairs on hybrid cars do tend to cost more. Car insurance for hybrids can also be more expensive because of the cost of repairs. Types of car insurance tied to repair cost can include: Liability, Uninsured Motorist, Collision, and Comprehensive.
