Car Insurance Quotes?!

Options
I bought a new car recently and did some research into the insurance costs for me on the vehicle.

In March I was getting quotes at around £300.

In April these went up to £375ish and now, when my insurance is due for renewal, the cheapest I am getting is £560?!

How comes it's jumped by nearly £300 when I haven't changed anything? No new claims and no convictions.
I have a simple philosophy:
Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

    Prices may go up as well as down.

    Playing with the quotes may have triggered an anti fraud system so hiking the prices.

    That's interesting to know, literally haven't changed a thing other than purchase the car and have the number plate to hand.

    Try a generic quote on the car type, not with the reg, made up name etc, at a close address, from a comparison site, and see what comes back.
