Is there any insurers people can recommend, good on price and customer service, ya know a real good all rounder?!

Im 25, been driving over 7 years, will have 4 years no claims when it comes to renewing in June.. (and i only have 4 years, as when i was younger, and was constantly changing cars (im on my 9th!!!) i changed insurers each time, and of course didn't gain any no claims! )

Can anyone tell me, what mods have to be declared?! I know that sounds like a silly question, but the things i have had done to my car, are all pretty minor and cosmetic only, i know my current insurer wanted to know about my tinted rear lights, dashbulb light changes , exhaust even tho it makes no difference to the performance...!?, just all small things, am i better just making sure all is listed or....can someone advise me on that please?!

Thanks

Whatever insurer you go with declare any mods you have, that way in the event of an accident they won't have any reason not to pay out. Better to be safe then sorry.

Oh and 9 cars by the time you're 25 is nothing. I've had 18 and I'm only 21.

lol thats nearly one a year for your age!!! i was only sayin the other day, i can't believe i've kept this one for a year n 3 months!! not the longest, had one for 2 years...and only dont have that cos it was nicked!!

I've just put in for a quote with greenlight, as apparently ya get discounts for being a gold member, so will see what they come back with!!

I'm 31 and I've had 82 cars

**caz**

how many?!

question is tho...can you remember, name and list them all off the top of ya head

RstAaron.

Believe me I could've had more, just wouldn't have anywhere to live!

That averages 7 a year since you were 17! (assuming all were road legal etc.) I'm on 4.5, got some catching up to do...

Thats about right. None of them were ever expensive in any way Some of them were pretty shite tbh

I'm with herts, they were the cheapest for mine, altho £550 fully comp really dont seem it to me

Always found Tesco among the most reasonable for "normal" cars and including all manner of modifications apart from serious performance ones.

I've been with Tesco for the last 2 years, last year they were £436...approx IIRC, not sure what they want this year...just wonderin if i can get it cheaper!? lol

you could try Brentacre they dont care what mods you do to the car aslong as you keep to or below the power you declare your vehicle to have.

**caz**

i know people who have and do use paul so will defo give him a call, not heard of brentacre so will give them a buzz too!!

Thanks for the suggestions! keep em' coming please

Greenlight just got back to me...

£472.70

only quote i've had back so far!

Fordmad!

I never really bother insuring my mods tbh i no its silly but i have a escort van with alloys and tinted rear light not declaring them shoots up from £400 to £700!!!

My xr3i cab just has white rs alloys exhaust and uprated brakes and pipercross so no real mods as such! I no people driving round in proper kitted cars and different engines and insure them standard and they seem to get away with it!!!

danb21t

until you crash and the insurance company tell you to jog on

**caz**

surely tho, if ya dont declare them wont they then turn it round on you, if ya in an accident and make ya insurance void for not telling them of those small things?!

this is why im seriously thinking of makin sure they know every small detail!!! can't be thrown back in my face then can it!!!

The quote from greenlight was with everything mentioned! altho im sure tesco was cheaper than that last year! lol

Oranoco

Not only is it incredibly stupid it also means you have no insurance. You're worried about it shooting up £300 try getting cover after having a policy declared void.

Aviva were by far the best for me.

Boncaster for the Cossie though.

**caz**

Just got my renewal letter throught the post...

£358.05 before the interest for paying monthly!

so renewal was cheaper than greenlight, imo that sounds like quite a good amount!? am i right to think that?!

it does not necessarily mean your insurance is void.

Not until they requote and tell you they dont insure modded vehicles anyway lol.

**caz**

they already have everything on file that's been done to my car!
