I've just had my next year's quote with BMW Car insurance and their increase is stated as 19.12% over last year.

ABI Explain the reason for the increases.

Rising costs for insurers continue

Examples of increasing cost pressures cited by some ABI members include:

Energy inflation adding £71.75 to each repair.

Average paint and material costs have increased by nearly 16%.

Comparing 2022-Q3 with 2021-Q3 the average paint cost on repair has increased by 20%.

An estimated 40% of all work is now being affected in some way by parts delays.

Courtesy car costs to repairers are increasing at around 30%.

In addition, the average price of second-hand cars increased by 19% in the year ending July 2022, (source: Auto Trader)
