Car insurance is falling for the first time in years – so why has my bill gone up?

mirror.co.uk:

There was some good news for motorists this week as it was announced that comprehensive car insurance premiums have dropped by 14% since the start of the pandemic.

That works out at an average of £87 according to a survey by comparison website Confused.com, leaving motorists paying £538 a year on average.

This matches other surveys of motor insurance prices over the period of lockdown. It means that for many people, motor insurance will be at its cheapest level for years.

Yet my inbox is full of people saying that their renewal documents suggest their premiums are going up in the year ahead. So what’s going on?
