Ok, here in NYS if you don’t have insurance on your car you have to turn in your plates and registration. You will receive a refund of the monies left on your registration (in about 6 weeks in the mail) but then you will have to pay to reregister it when you put it back on the road. If you know how long your car is going to be off the road, but the registration refund into an account to hold it till you are ready to reregister that way you have part of the money (as you will have to pay the whole registration again when you put the car back on the road), but yes you can save quite a bit of money this way. Also find out if your state offers insurance by the mile. IF they do and you drive under a certain amount you might save money. Not available yet in NYS. DH and I are and have been a 1 car household for 5 years + and its just fine. I take the bus (takes less than 15 minutes and is more reliable and cheaper thant he downtown parking garages) or I bike in nice weather. DH is a SAHD and doesn’t drive much durring the week. I made sure our Insurance agent was aware of this (as we drive to get our groceries – less than 2 miles, and once weekly to Girl Scouts – about 10 miles). We saved $100 annually by removing our car from daily use to recreational use (which is what it is) because the idea is that we are in it less and therefore less likely to be in an accident.
