Did you know?

The price of your insurance is also determined where you live?

Try it yourself.

Use your address and someone else's address when you get a quote.

There could be a few hundred quid between it..

Anyone with over half a braincell knows this.

really you mean london and the scottish highlands don't carry the same risk factor lol :homme:

but, seriously was this a serious post?

[tisandy]

To save embarrassment, i'll say yeh, it was a joke ;)

but until the other week I had no idea. here was only half a mile between our houses and yet the insurance was a few hundred quid different..

[mlawlan69]

yeah, they are allowed, or were, to discriminate on gender, postcode is fucking easy picking for the slimy cunts !

[haz_pro]

Postcode is fair though, it's easy to go on statistics, which is all insurance is. Saying that, the amount it can change for tiny movements in location can be ludicrous at times.

[Mochachino]

I thought everyone was aware of this and was one of the basics to know with insurance.

Its annoying for me, just 1 mile away and the postcode is different and is a few hundred cheaper than my postcode which is pretty shit for statistics.

Someone with a different postcode across the road can have insurance half as expensive as yours, its that gay.

Does your age affect it tooo?

I'm going to try putting in i'm 17 for one and 35 again, exact same quote just the age difference. See if that makes any difference!!

Lol ! Paul - Im just sorry you have to moderate / tolerate threads like this!

[LSOfreak]

guys guys, did you know, insurance is more expensive with a bigger engine :O go ahead try it lol i joke

[CEdwards]

did you know that insurance is much cheaper if you say you have one leg?

[devilsadvocate]

Insurance has to be calculated using statistics because insurance companies can't see into the future to see how good of a driver you are going to be over the next 60 odd years

Insurance postcode risk (http://www.carinsuranceexplained.com/car_insurance_explained/insurance_postcode_risk.htm)

Quite an interesting link. I am risk "E" :panic:

[kinjo]

im in a "B" region,,not too bad i suppose

[mclovin9091]

IM a b as well, although if i say i park the car in a secure private car park with armed guards the cost goes up, so i now park my car on my drive and its £50 cheaper :(

Work that one out!

[CEdwards]

my postcode rating doesnt come up on that site!

[Vtr_max]

I dont have a postcode, so they gave me free insurance
