FAQ: Modified
What if my car comes with modifications?
Cars bough from an authorised dealer with optional extras like alloy wheels should not affect your premiums too much, if fitted to the manufacturer’s specifications. It’s worth checking what comes as standard so that you can advise your insurer.
Always declare all the details of the modifications, especially if it has enhanced the value of your car, to ensure any future claim is not rejected on the grounds of non-disclosure.
Why do modified vehicles cost more to insure?
Many underwriters are wary of drivers with modified vehicles, considering them to be reckless and therefore prone to accidents. The reality is, however, that drivers of modified vehicles tend to be vehicle enthusiasts who will go to extreme lengths to protect their pride and joy from harm.
Is it a good idea to keep my car in a garage?
Yes, having your vehicle safely locked away in a garage and also having a good alarm system will all help to reduce your insurance premiums.
