Better still give up your car altogether. Bicycle, public transport and occasionally hiring a car can work out cheaper. My only concern with getting rid of my car is that it seems impossible to hire vehicles once you are turned 70 and I've less than 5 years to go. My mileage has dropped dramatically in the last few years and my oldfartmobile, a silver Berlingo, often sits unused for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.
