UK Drivers Paying Millions For Overstuffed Garages

UK drivers are paying hundreds of millions of pounds more than they need to on their motor insurance premiums because they can't be bothered to clean out their garages. Regularly parking your car on the street can be an expensive habit, both in terms of the damage that can be caused and in increased motor insurance premiums.

Not everyone has the good fortune to own a garage but even those who do find it hard to use for its intended purpose. Less than half of those who own a garage regularly use it, with two out of three saying that they cannot park their car in the garage due to the amount of stuff stored in there.

Some say they do not use their garages to store their cars because their new vehicle is too wide and would not fit even if the garage was empty.

"People are leaving their cars out on the streets at the mercy of opportunist thieves, vandals and the British weather. By clearing out their garage to make room for their car they could make a significant saving on their motor insurance," said a motor insurance spokesman.
