Still wondering which car will be my next I thought I would do a little experiment. I did a couple of "Go Compare" quotes for an S4 avant which is still very much on my list.
The only difference in the quotes was the address.
Address 1 - My house in Maidenhead (Berkshire)
£885.35
Address 2 - My parents house in Bourne End (Buckinghamshire)
£328.52
By moving 5 miles up the road (Parents to my place) I have become £556.83 more of a risk.
Clearly i have not become more of a risk, just the area I live in is I guess.
Very frustrating and nothing I can do I know, but that is a big difference.

Aye, postcode lottery makes a difference in many ways. Definitely - moving from Culloden to Culbokie nearly halved my premium. Did make me wonder if the insurers had records that stretched a long way back as far as local violence and deaths were concerned

When I relocated from Merseyside to Ayrshire 7 years ago, I had at the time a Alfa 166 V6 Super Lusso, my insurance was circa £1400 and had been recently renewed, when relocated got a £1100 credit back onto the debit card as paid annually.

Yup I moved recently around 10 minutes from my previous address, £200 more expensive, not impressed at all. But hey.
