The latest AA British Insurance Premium Index reveals that there has been a slowdown in the trend towards lower car insurance premiums.
The index highlights that the average cost of comprehensive car insurance premiums has risen slightly, although levels remain well below those prices seen in the 1990s.

"If the recent downward trend had continued for much longer premiums may have bounced sharply up leading to of double-digit increases. While the risk of a sudden hike remains, modest increases make this less likely," he added.
