Its mainly due to Chav boy racers having accidents all the time.
Car insurance rates are affected by one's age, driving record, accident history, special discounts/incentives, and the type of car they drive. You've stated only one factor--your accident history. What about the other factors? In addition to those, rates often go up as a matter of course, as do the prices of all goods and services (inflation). Now that automobile insurance is mandatory, they have more freedom to gouge, as well.
the newer the vehicle the higher the insurance
It could be down to crime in your area or something like that.
Insurance is based on postcode, where you keep the car, the job you have, etc. So each year it's defiantely worth shopping around.
I have the same problem.I get older.so does my car.and no accidents. Then why am I paying almost $700 every 6 months if I've done nothing wrong?
My best advice is to shop around. Some companies give discounts if you get your car insurance and home owners insurance through them. Try checking out some companies that give discounts depending on how long you've had service with them.
car insurance depends on other things that have nothing to do with you. Amount of claims on the type of car you drive, Location you live and profit insurance company makes. All these can add to your cost.

Sometimes insurance companies take rate increases across the board. Other times if you move, the rate can change. If you get a different vehicle, it can change. I am not UK experienced, so that's all I know.
Mini Ones are getting a bad name owing to all the women and chavs who now own them, tearing round and smashing into things and killing and maiming people.
The CEO of your insurance company wasn't satisfied with the wine he had to drink while vacationing all last winter in the Bahama's! Sorry chump, you're just going to have to dig a little deeper in those bottomless pockets!
change it if gone up, I change mine every year.
Its to fund those clever people who have no insurance but still have accidents. someone has to pay. So why shouldn't it be people with a conscience who pay each year.
