Insurance premiums for cars on the rise

The average insurance premium for automobiles was 1.3% to £ 751.60 for the first 3 months of 2009.
This is based on a sample of 1,000 customers in over 80 car insurance providers.
AA Insurance director, Simon Douglas, said: "While 1.3% may not sound much, premiums fell during the same period in each of the last five years, so this increase is an important indication that insurers are determined to tackle the loss earlier this year. "
Insurance premiums for cars usually fall in the first 3 months of the year, being busy in the renewal time, shooting competition between insurance providers to keep premiums low.
This year seems different. Fraud, personal injury claims and all legal costs are rising costs.
Fraud is only significant increase, up 30% as reported recently by the ABI (Association of British Insurers).
The AA provides for an increase of about 11% on car insurance premiums during 2009.
