Car insurance gone through the roof!

Can anbody help me with where to find a sensible quote for my car insurance.
My premium last year was £569 because I had a claim in 2009 (and so lost 2 of my 5 years no claims)
I have just had my renewal through and they are quoting me.....£913 for TPFT insurance based on 4yrs NCB! I am a 26yr old female and have had my licence 7yrs. This is the only claim I have had and I cannot understand how my premium can have increased so much.
I have run through all price comparison websites and I can get Fully Comp for in the same region but nowhere is coming up cheaper fot TPFT.
As I am considering a new car (when I say new I mean used) I ran through out of interest a 1.2l Punto to see if that made much difference as I am currently driving a 1.8l Honda but they still wanted over £900.
I haven't paid above £650 for insurance since I passed my test!
Any suggestions?

read some of the recent threads as its a bit of an FAQ in this section.
In your case, the claim is likely to be the damage as insurers are cherry picking more.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0
