So a quick scan through the prices being quoted here and it would seem premiums are being increased circa 30-50%.

That's quite a shift.

I just renewed with Churchill for £397, added no claims protection which was approx £50.

I'm 42, 4 years NCD (had company car before this) living in West Berkshire (countryside)

I used to used Admiral for my Porsche as they were by far the cheapest but for the RS4 they were almost double that of Churchill.

I think it comes down to negotiation on the quote offered (there is always some room on the online quotes) and that some insurance companies are more comfortable with certain cars than others.
