€10,571 - annual cost of family car
People don’t realise how much their car costs them. We tend to think of the purchase price plus petrol and insurance, but in fact that under-states it by a long way.
The AA calculates the annual cost of motoring each year including a wide range of costs including depreciation, finance, repairs and replacements, the cost of parking and a whole load of other sundries as well. That figure shows the total annual cost of running the average Band B family car at just over 10,571 euro a year - down 75 euro on last year.
