Car insurance is at its highest price since March 2013 after rising in October, according to data released by MoneySuperMarket.

The price comparison site recorded a 2% month-on-month increase last month, which works out as £9 per policy.

The second consecutive monthly rise means that car insurance is now 9% more expensive than this time last year, with premiums £36 higher.

MoneySuperMarket insurance writer Kevin Pratt said: “We fear the era of lower premiums has reached its end. Since February this year, when average premium prices bottomed out at £378, we’ve seen premiums increase by £53, or 14% with the average premium hitting £431 during October.”
