Lose The Mods For Cheaper Car Insurance

red cartoon car
If you are looking for ways to make savings on the cost of your motor insurance, modifications (or “mods”) can be a great place to start.

Adding these extras to your vehicle can result in your car insurance premium increasing by hundreds of pounds.

While many motoring enthusiasts are willing to accept this added expense in order to indulge their passion it is always worth considering whether or not it is really necessary for you.

Many of the car insurance comparison sites now factor modifications into their quoting process. So if you are considering adding mods to your car why not play about with a few comparisons and see the difference they can make to your quote.

You may find that adding mods will make your car insurance unaffordable or that removing them could result in a nice saving. Either way it only costs ten minutes of your time to find out.

Finally don’t forget to keep your insurance provider informed. If you remove modifications let them know as it could lower your premium. Most importantly, if you add mods after taking out a policy tell your insurer immediately. Failure to do so could result in your policy being invalid in the event of making a claim.

So, rethink those mods and see what savings you could make!

Car Insurance Comparison Sites Urged To Shape Up


As more and more price comparison sites spring up offering a facility to compare car insurance online the quality of service offered is apparently falling.

According to a recent investigation by the FSA several car insurance comparison providers are not working to best practices in terms of providing accurate and relevant results.

If you are considering using price comparison sites to shop around for your car insurance check out the FSA’s findings before proceeding.

A high quality price comparison site can be an invaluable tool when searching for car insurance, but if a few bad eggs are entering the market being able to trust the service you use has never been more important.
