Motor insurance premiums – Quarter 1 2013

Car insurance premiums falling, latest AA Index finds

 Legal reforms bring cost savings

 Premiums expected to continue downward trend

 Insurers’ access to DVLA records will further cut fraud

Car insurance premiums continue to fall according to the latest benchmark AA British Insurance Premium Index, covering the first quarter of 2013.

The average quoted premium for an annual comprehensive car insurance policy, as tracked by the AA Shoparound index, is £746.75. That’s a fall of 1.4% over the first three months of 2013. Over the past year premiums have fallen by 4.1%.

The Shoparound figures are reached by averaging the five cheapest quotes from a range of premiums from insurers and brokers, as well as from price comparison sites, against a fixed basket of risks.

Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, says that the falling trend will be welcomed by consumers, who over the past three years have faced some of the biggest premium increases ever recorded by the Index.

“Car insurance has not been far from the headlines for all the wrong reasons, as insurers struggled to balance premiums against claims costs,” he says. “Sharp hikes in personal injury claims, fraud and uninsured drivers, to say nothing of last year’s gender directive and changing regulations, have all helped to pile on the pounds.

“But there are other changes that I expect to help this downward premium trend,” Mr Douglas says.

The first parts of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) were introduced on 1 April, with others following later in the month and in July.

AA British Insurance Premium Index

Key reforms of LASPO include:

 Complete ban on the payment and receipt of referral fees for any claim that includes a personal injury

 Controls to ensure that costs are proportionate to the damages

 ‘After the Event’ insurance premiums (often called ‘additional liabilities’) and solicitor success fees can no longer be recovered from the defendant in an injury claim  Fixed legal fees for road collision claims valued at under £10,000 will reduce from

£1,200 to £500

In addition, a proposal is under consultation whereby the small claims court limit for personal injury claim cases where legal costs can’t be recovered will increase from £1,000 to £5,000. “These changes should go some way towards bringing no-win, no-fee type whiplash-injury claims under control, and will thus reduce the costs of claims,” Mr Douglas says.

Meanwhile, the government continues to focus on car insurance. The Transport Committee of cross-party MPs is currently exploring the very British phenomenon of soaring whiplash-injury claims. The Ministry of Justice has also just finished a consultation on whiplash injury.

Mr Douglas hopes that these enquiries will bring further reforms to bring the number of whiplash-injury claims under control. He points out that 70% of those in crashes on Britain’s roads make a claim for injury even if no injury has been suffered, amounting to some 570,000 claims per year, costing £2bn.

“This is a shameful record that makes the UK the ‘whiplash capital of Europe’. In France for instance, only 3% of crashes result in a personal injury claim,” he says.

The AA would like to see measures such as a part of legitimate injury payments being made direct to providers of rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy; an independent medical examination of whiplash-injury claimants; and the adoption of a system similar to that in Germany and Austria, where low-speed crashes are not eligible for whiplash injury claims. In a separate initiative, insurance companies are expected to be allowed to cross-check car insurance applications against the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) database from next year.

AA British Insurance Premium Index

Mr Douglas adds: “We know that an astounding 23% of motorists wrongly declare their driving history to insurers, either not declaring convictions or disqualifications, or declaring something less significant when they take out car insurance.

“Many more provide other false information such as age, driving experience or even address in order to obtain a cheaper insurance premium. This is unfair to safer, honest motorists and adds to the cost of insurance.”

The AA’s own research shows that the public overwhelmingly support such a move.*

Insurers are now starting to cut premiums in anticipation that that these various measures will reduce costs.

“I expect the downward trend to continue, which will be welcome news for consumers,” says Mr Douglas.

*AA/Populus. 17,883 AA members were questioned between 14 and 20 December 2012. A net 92% of the respondents agreed that the cross-checking of insurance applications against the DVLA database is a good idea if it cuts down fraud.

Home insurance premiums – Quarter 1 2013

Home insurance premiums fall despite flood concerns, AA Index finds

 Home insurance premiums continue downward trend

 Flood agreement between government and insurance industry ‘out of sight’ – thousands of homes could be left uninsurable

Premiums for home buildings, contents and combined policies continued to fall dramatically over the first three months of 2013, despite an estimated cost to insurers of £1.2bn for last year’s floods.

Typical quotes on the AA’s Shoparound index (average of five cheapest premiums from both direct providers and price comparison sites) for buildings insurance are down 2.6% over the quarter (down 1.7% over the past 12 months); contents are down 1.7% (down 2.4% over the past 12 months); and for a combined buildings and contents policy, down 1.8% (down 1.4% over 12 months).

Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, says that the downward trend hides wide regional variations, particularly where homes have suffered floods.

“Flood-affected homes will have seen big premium increases, especially if they have suffered two or three flood claims. They are also likely to have seen the excess – the amount a

homeowner must pay towards a claim – for flood claims rise sharply.”

Such homes can still obtain insurance according to a ‘statement of principles’ between insurers and the government. Yet that comes to an end in June this year and there is no sign of a replacement. The agreement was struck with the insurance industry in 2000, provided the government continued to increase investment in flood risk management.

But in fact investment has fallen despite a recent welcome announcement that a further £294m will be spent to protect an additional 64,000 homes against flooding.

Flooding has become a major concern for both the government and the insurance industry, which have been locked in negotiations to find a way forward. There are estimated to be over 200,000 homes at serious risk of flooding, and 1.2 million at some risk.

(8)

AA British Insurance Premium Index

“The decision was taken to end the statement of principles back in 2008, so it’s not as if there hasn’t been time to come up with a new deal,” says Mr Douglas.

“Homeowners will be exasperated and worried at this impasse. People need flood cover that is affordable, and that won’t happen unless and until a more robust system, which all home owners are likely to have to contribute to, is in place.

“At present, we are on the brink of an open market which could see insurance becoming out of reach for flood-affected families, with obvious consequences for property values and

mortgages," he says.

The Association of British Insurers [ABI] has been discussing a proposal known as ‘Flood Re’, which proposes that the total cost of increase flood claims is spread through a levy on insurers to provide a not-for-profit ‘pool’ to meet claims from high-risk homes. This would add an

estimated £8 to £15 to all home insurance premiums.

Since it would take time for this reserve to be built up, in the early years it would need to be underwritten by the government in the event that there is a major flood catastrophe soon after it was put in place. This, the AA understands, HM Treasury is unwilling to do.

A further proposal by reinsurance broker Marsh offers a different option. Known as ‘Flood Mu’, it would mutualise (hence the name) rather than reinsure flood losses, with some of the claims costs arising from a flood disaster distributed over all home insurers, although some of the risk remains with the originator of the insurance cover. It would not require government funding, but is more complex in operation.

Nonetheless, both concepts would need primary legislation. This could take a year or more, since it would rely on all insurers being compelled to participate.

“For now, I see no option but to extend the statement of principles for the time being, but it’s not a satisfactory way forward. It was only ever seen as a temporary measure,” Mr Douglas points out.

He adds that other European countries have effective government mechanisms in place to ensure flood-risk homes can be insured, not dissimilar to the ABI’s proposal. “It’s difficult to see why the UK can’t do something along those lines.”

The AA Index suggests that competition is still keeping home premiums in check, although some insurers are showing signs of putting up premiums.

AA British Insurance Premium Index

At a time when Sir John Beddington, the government’s own outgoing chief scientist, has warned that a ‘need for urgency’ in tackling the ‘irrefutable’ effects of climate change, insurers are becoming more nervous about the implications for more frequent and costly claims. Sir John warned that we are going to see more floods, more sea surges and more storms ‘in our lifetimes’.

Insurers will confirm that greater frequency of severe weather is already affecting more and more homes that have no history of floods.

“I hope there isn’t more serious flooding this year,” adds Mr Douglas.

“That would almost certainly be a catalyst for further premium rises for everyone, as happened over the months following the 2007 floods. And I wouldn’t expect them to stabilise until a firm solution is in place to tackle what is at great risk of becoming a national embarrassment."

The Index shows average home insurance premiums based on open market rates from 72 of the UK's leading insurers. Composites, direct writers and online providers are included.

The quarterly move compares the market average premium this quarter with the same quarter last year. The shoparound premium is the average of the five lowest premiums quoted by the insurers in the market survey. This more closely reflects the price paid, but does not take account of discretionary discounts offered. All premiums shown include Insurance Premium Tax at the prevailing rate.
