How postcode pricing works
Insurers use postcode data to estimate theft, accident, and claims frequency in your area.
Even neighbouring postcodes can have different risk scores.
Location risk influences base premium costs.
Local crime and accident rates affect pricing.
Home parking and security can offset risk.
How to use the predictor
Use the result to compare areas or understand premium shifts after a move.
Always check real quotes for exact pricing.

FAQs
Can two close postcodes differ in price?
Yes. Insurers assess risk by small postcode areas, so prices can vary significantly.
Does parking type matter?
Yes. Garage or driveway parking can reduce perceived risk.
Is this a quote?
No. It is a predictor, not an insurer quote.
Will moving change my premium?
Often. Location is a major factor in UK pricing.
