Car insurance costs are climbing for the first time since 2017, partly because of Brexit uncertainty, according to the AA.
Over the last three months, the cost of a fully comprehensive policy climbed 2.7% to £609.93 on average.
Premiums have also climbed because an expected cut in claims costs won't now take effect until April 2020.
"But underlying all of this are concerns surrounding Brexit," said AA's director of insurance Janet Connor.
She said: "Regardless of what the final deal looks like, the market has continued to battle with the value of sterling.
"This has led to the rising cost of imported car parts, further adding costs to the car repair industry which ultimately finds its way to the premiums we pay."
