Depends. I have only minimal (PL/PD) insurance on my car (11 years old) and I checked with several companies and there was no difference between my pre-cycling mileage (14,000) and post (3,000). Worth checking, but don't expect a lot unless you have a newer car with full-coverage insurance. Even then, it'll probably depend on your situation (I'm already highly discounted due to never having had a ticket or an at-fault accident and having had a license for 25+ years).
