UK Q1 motor insurance premiums slip-AA

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, April 29 (Reuters) - British car insurance premiums fell marginally in the first quarter compared with the previous three months, dropping back after sharp rises over most of last year, recovery service AA said on Friday.

New (KOSDAQ: 160550.KQ - news) business premiums often stall during the first quarter of the year and the AA said in a quarterly statement it expected the upward trend to resume.

FTSE 100 firms such as Aviva (Other OTC: AIVAF - news) , Direct Line (Other OTC: DIISD - news) and RSA are among those operating in the highly competitive car insurance market.

The average quote for an annual comprehensive car insurance policy was 561.24 pounds ($820.42), the AA said, a fall of 0.4 percent over the previous quarter, but a rise of 20.7 percent from a year earlier.
