    Mine has actually gone down a couple of times with two different car insurance companies. Though my insurance has never been on the hook for a claim from me either.

      I’m in my 40s, work a low-risk job, live in a low-risk area, have 12+ years no claims, a clean license. Ignoring the points at which everyone’s insurance gets cheaper as they age, my premiums has gone up constantly. Coincidentally, so have insurance underwriter’s profits. I definitely could have got cheaper insurance if I’d have compromised on cover, or gone with a worse-rated provider, but that’s not my point. The base cost of insurance is set by the underwriters, and that has increased year on year for just about everyone
