Thumbs down Insurance going up?

Hi, thought I'd post up to see how other people are finding it insuring at the moment. My quotes keep going up year on year! 2 years ago I paid £550 fully comp, all mods declared. Last year this went up to £620, this year they want £718

Of course I have added a few more mods which are declared, but the power has remained the same.

I am 32 (nearly 33) have 9+ years ncb, no convictions, speeding offences or claims. Car is garaged and mileage given is 5K, I think last year I did around 3K.

I know last year there was a big thing in the news about uninsured drivers pushing up the price of insurance, but is that the same this year or are insurance companies just cashing in?

PS - not had a quote from Moley yet, am hoping he can help!

The impreza stayed roughly the same with more mods (Thanks Moley!) But we had a renewal quote through for our 1.0 10 year old swift that jumped from £300 to £1000 with an extra years ncb! AA wern`t interested in sorting a deal, ended up with Chaucer direct for roughly £300 again.

wierd isn't it, an extra years motoring, no convictions, claims or speeding fines and rather than try and keep a customer by offering a good price they try to fleece us and end up losing money and customers!!

Got my renewal of £777, had to change address and mileage from 3k to 5k and quote went up to £810.

Spoke to A-plan who gave me a quote of £728, rang back to see if i could see what the quote would be with 3k mileage as it doesn't get used that much, after a few mins on hold got a quote of £688 with the mileage kept at 5k

Rang back my current insurer who will now do £685, so that's a £125 saving on what they originaly quoted and what they said was there best deal.

Trying to get through to gary at keith michaels, but after 10+ calls and a messages today i'm thinking i won't be able to, but fingers crossed i get through to see if they are as good as everyone keeps saying.

Mine has decreased slightly over the passed 3 years by about £30 a year. But its stayed steady this year as I am declaring more mods and more power.
