Default Roll cage and insurance

Hi,

Has anybody had any experiences insuring cars with cages?

Would like a a proper (not a dimma one ), just wondering if this will seriously effect insurance.

cheers

Adrian Flux refused to cover mine when I told them I wanted to fit a cage. I've had no end of trouble getting cover. A lot insurance companies were happy (well ish ) about the 250bhp engine. As soon as I said cage, I kept getting told "sorry we can't offer cover for your vehicle.

HIC sorted me out though

Hi Fella's

Just to let you know, most of our underwriters will cover roll cages (+ Nitrous oxide) so if you need a hand we'd be happy to help .

We also offer track cover options with some of our underwriters.. just in case you want to put the cage to test.

Kind regards

Tony
