Ok these things should be declared, but how much difference will they actually make to the premium? You’re right re seats - I’m just stating the facts that if someone physically removes seats and permanently runs without them, it’s a declarable modification rather than someone folding their rear seats for a run to the tip. Re the tints, that excuse won’t wash - they’re clearly blacked out side windows and are non standard, ignorance isn’t bliss - It’s a modification. The simple answer is it could potentially make a massive difference. I fairly regularly get customers come to me saying they’ve called their insurer to declare a minor mod and now they’ve been given 7 days to find alternate cover. For someone like LBF there’s a potential he’ll a quote wiped out completely as a young, inexperienced driver. Believe it or not a few months back I had someone approach me desperately needing help as their insurer had cancelled their insurance because they'd called called to let them know they’d had PPF fitted. Clear fucking protective wrap. Mental. 43 minutes ago, Erebus said: Do certain colours attract higher premiums or does the fact you've changed the colour in itself cause a higher premium?

Daft question, but if you have the colour of your alloys changed, say from silver to grey when refurbed, should you declare that as well? The colour itself shouldn’t, there are myths about certain colours being involved in more accidents but relatively speaking it’s bollocks Its the fact its modified, your typical mainstream insurers like Churchill, Direct Line etc will flat out refuse to cover most mods, whereas specialists like where I work will actually often offer a reduced premium with modifications. Re the wheel colour, its down to the insurer but yes technically unless you have the wheels refurbed in silver if they were silver from the factory, black if black from the factory etc - a like for like colour (pedantic brigade I don’t mean down to the colour code, just the actual colour being the same) goosey and Erebus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’d be a very grey area, if someone was for example a gardener and had a Citroen Picasso so removed the detachable seats and used it as a van for business, I think it’s fair to say most insurers would want to have it declared as a permanent modification. I know there are some insurers that are stupidly anal, if you speak to the right people it should be no real issue at all but it’s also very case dependent I’d say.

Yep - not a converted van, no lowered floor/ramp, uncut rear bumper, standard doors etc. Straightforward van. You might want to investigate boot hoists for a scooter/wheelchair as an alternative to a converted van. Unless you need one converts have some significant drawbacks - small fuel tanks for 1 (mines 20 litres!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
