Worth my while taking my car off the road?

jobless · 2019-07-02 08:23:07

my car is 15 years old... have a full no claims bonus... Insurance is around 600, tax 400 a year.... The thing is i only use it max 2 days a week so am thinking of taking it off road to save money and just use the car belonging to my wife... Im guessing i would lose my no claims bonus though so is it a false economy?

Speak to your insurer.
You can freeze the insurance but have to start it again within 2 years to keep your NCB

Alternate insuring your wife's car each year between the pair of you.
That way you can both keep an active NCB.
