What vehicle do you own?
Hi morech, and welcome to the forum.
Have you tried putting a low mileage restriction on your policy? They do vary between insurers, but I've come across some insurers who will go as low as 2,000 miles a year in return for a lower premium.
You're welcome, morech.
Yes, it may very well be the postcode that's the problem for you. All you can do is shop around with as many insurers as possible, this gets harder and harder each year, I know, and you're not alone in considering giving up your car. Frankly, insurers are biting the hand that feeds them!
