Because it means I have to spend my few free hours in an evening hunting out the best prices for my car insurance. And everything's got so much more expensive over the last 12 months or so. I have 6 years No Claims and still the best quotes I can get is around the £400 mark. 2 years ago, with just 4 years No Claims and a car that was worth a lot more I was paying £250 a year for my insurance.
I'd love to get rid of the car but having to take public transport to work works out at about £1000 a year more expensive than driving (that includes the extra childcare costs) so it's just not worth it and it would take me nearly 2 hours to do the 13 miles to work. 2 hours on a bus with a 2 year old - no thanks.
