Car Insurance Help!!!

Last year I paid around £530 for my car insurance using confused.com. This year after using the same details and adding my 7 yrs NCB, I have been quoted £702!!!!!. I assume that each year motor insurance becomes cheaper. Can anyone please justify this huge rise???? Any other websites to check for a competitive and lesser quote.

Thanks in advance.

    Similar thing happens to me too. Prices quoted are waaaaay over what I pay..

    I assume there is a certain % rise in insurance prices. I have given up with comparison sites, try and search companies that are not on them.

    What I do is stick to my insurance company and ask them for their best price. They often take off some money which suits me.

    I always shop around, and usually pay a similar price each year. The only exception has been this year, were my existing company actually quoted cheaper than anyone else, and cheaper than last year.

    Can't work out why a comparison site quotes me at least between £200 and £1000 over what I pay at the moment. with 7 years NCB

    Thats why I give up and ask my insurance to give me something off.
