The results of AA's Ford Focus survey have shown that Liverpool is the most expensive area in the country to insure a car.
The report said that the mean average cost of insuring a car in the L6 district of Liverpool is £639 per year.
This compares to the national mean average of £369 per year. Last year's mean average for the UK was £360 per year.
The survey, which analyses the cost of car insurance for an average couple driving a mid-range car, is scheduled to be published later this month.
Last year, Manchester was the most expensive area in which to insure a car, with the mean average for the Wythenshawe area of the city standing at £567 per year.
In this year's survey, the mean average for Wythenshawe fell to £530.
The Ford Focus survey is based on the average open market rate for a 37-year-old factory worker and his 35-year-old partner driving a mid-range Ford Focus with clean licences.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
