Well, just get rid of it (the garage) altogether then! Much cheaper. AND.....You get to have an extra room in your house.
Or get rid of the car - why not?
Work out how much you could save
In the Telegraph it is reported that "The RAC is refusing to budge on the pessimistic claim in its recently published Report on Motoring that it costs "an average of £6,689" per annum – or £557 per month, if you prefer – to own and run a car in Britain today."
There is a calculator for motoring costs on the AA site. http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/running_costs/
You could use a car pool like zipcar or http://www.hourcars.co.uk/ or http://www.easycar.com. This arrangement is generally cheaper if you only use the car for a few hours.

Or, if you don't use the car regularly you could just take a taxi and hire a car for your holidays and have the weekly shopping delivered by whoever your favourite supermarket or shop is.
