Hi I live in London. Have an 2001 Audi TT I'd like to store. Don't have a garage currently or driveway. Car is taxed (360£)and insured (550£) currently, but I'm wondering if there would be a cheaper option.
Garage rental is around 80£ a month, then I can remove the tax and insurance. But is there any cheaper way, don't have a friend with a private drive unfortunately

parkonmydrive or one of the similar sites.

Pick someone who has a lot of feedback and plenty of space.

Your only issue is getting it started again so you might want to consider taking the battery lead off or getting a solar charger.

Leave it with someone you trust who lives in a quiet street?

You will still want insurance, especially if it cant be stored somewhere secure. Search for a laid up insurance policy because even if you have to pay an annual premium it might be cheaper than 3 months of your current policy

TBH I'd leave it with family or a friend to look after, even if they're not near London.

Worth the potential hassle for the peace of mind
