A total of 12% said they are paying an extra €300-€399 and a further 11% were quoted an extra €400-€499 this year.
A luckier 13% of respondents said they were subjected to a rise of less than €100, while 15% paid from €500 to over €1,000 extra.
We also asked if drivers had been refused a quote because their car is over 10 years old. Nineteen percent of respondents said they were rejected on this basis when shopping around for a quote.
