Car Insurance for a hybrid car

I have a nearly 4 year old BMW 330e hybrid car. Insurance seems higher for this type of car.. Are there any insurance companies that are worth trying for quotes?
Have tried all the comparison sites already.

    I think it's just more expensive to insure a hybrid, the premium on my Yaris was about 30% higher than the premium on my previous Fiesta (both with Halifax Insurance who have given me reasonable quotes compared to the comparison sites for the last 3 years).

    I just bought a hybrid car a Honda Jazz and the insurance is about 3 times higher than what I was paying for my old car a Hyundai i10.

    Admittedly it was two years ago but I changed from an ICE car to a hybrid and the premium hardly changed.
