According to AA Insurance, the place where you park your car can have influence on your car insurance premium, in particular if you live in city.

If you keep your car locked in a garage during the night, you can save from 7% (in the country) and 35% (in the city) on your car insurance.

According to AA Personal Loans, most parked cars are vandalized on the residential streets.

Research shows that car parks, especially multi-level car parks, are often considered as dangerous places to park. Nevertheless drivers are twice as likely to have their car vandalized on a residential street as in a supermarket car park and more than three times more likely than if their car was in a multi-level car park.

If you cannot afford locked garage, you should look for doctor’s surgery or hospital car park, outside a school, in an airport car park or outside a restaurant, each of these has only 3% of car vandalism.

AA Personal Loans advise deciding for well-lit car parks rather with good security like CCTV. Common precautions like folding in the side mirrors can cut back the risk of them being knocked off.

Mark Huggins of AA Personal Loans said a car is a serious investment and finding it devastated is horrible, frustrating and definitely expensive. If you pay for your car with a personal loan, the last thing you want is getting your car vandalized and paying for repairs, so it’s worth thinking about where you park.

Researchers from FancyACar said that having an engine immobilizer or alarm fitted in your car means better security and a lesser possibility that your car will be stolen.

What is more, your job can have an impact on your car insurance bonus. A desk job for instance means a low-risk type but a job that requires using your car, can pose a higher risk to insurance companies, according to FancyACar.
