Vehicle Modifications

Vehicle modifications can increase the cost of your comprehensive car insurance. This is because insurance providers may deem the car:

  • More attractive to thieves – expensive wheels, a unique pain job, a high-tech stereo sound system are features that can be very costly, more common to be stolen and is hot on the black market.
  • More likely to be involved in an accident – cars are generally perceived as made more for safety than aesthetics so the more features that are replaced with better looking ones, it can reduce the manufacturera’s safety standards.

Vehicle modifications are a significant aspect for car insurers to determine your premium cost so make sure you compare online at RateCity to find great value deals. To get a full quote, visit our car insurance page.
