Insurers have found that the post-code allied with the performance, value and use of the vehicle as well as the age, sex, occupation and experience of the owner and or drivers does have a significant bearing on the risk they are undertaking to insure.
This may explain why an 18 year old, learner driver, nymphomaniac actress in central London may have difficulty insuring a left-hand drive high performance vehicle.
Some insurers will charge more or less than others because of their individual experience in certain fields of risk. Constant appraisal of their statistical information can vary the premium charged.
Computers have helped analyse statistics to such a degree that premiums are generally now lower than a few years ago.
The evidence that brown eyed drivers are safer than those with blue or grey has yet to emerge, but only because the question has not been asked on the proposal form!

As a young man in your twenties, I hope you are not divorced, overweight and a smoker. I read in the Metro newspaper today that is what insurance company used to work out the insurance premium. They don't care if you have an advanced Driver licence.

I'm going to find out how much it would cost to insure my car if I "lived" at my grandmother's house in the middle of nowhere!

My parent's next-door-neighbour found that insurance for his son dropped from approx £2k to £1k if he took up residence with his gran, location change from Harrow to Sittingbourne (sp?) I think.
His son is approx 17 and the car a Vauxhaul Corsa.
