Insurance for your Modified Car or Van
If you have a modified vehicle, be it a complex and
expensive modification like my own van shown below with a lowered floor, ramp,
imported from the US, left hand drive, different wheels etc or just a car just
adapted in some minor way, insurance can become both difficult to obtain or very
expensive.
|
There are insurance companies that specialise in
modified vehicles and also in disabled conversions.
I personally found the best
price in my own case was through Adrian Flux, although I since had a better
price from Fish insurance services who specialise in disabled insurance of all
kinds.
They also do specialist insurance for scooters and wheelchairs. |

Car
insurance for modified cars and especially disabled converted
vehicles can become very time consuming. It is often easier to use one of the
better comparison websites to search a lot of insurance companies at once to
find the best price and suitable cover. Gocompare.com for example will allow you to
compare car insurance prices and cover details from a load of providers to ensure you are
getting a good deal.
Modified vehicles are becoming more
common on our roads whether its a tuned or customised non disabled
car or a specialist adapted disabled conversion. In all cases the best,
cheapest, fastest option is an insurance comparison website.
At times with certain vehicles or
modifications the available options and choices don't fit the online
forms. What I do here is to fill them in as near as possible. For e.g. my
vehicle is a Dodge Caravan SXT but because its American its not on the UK
insurance comparison websites lists of vehicles. No worries, its basically
the same as the UK Chrysler Voyager so I choose that. Same with engine sizes. I
choose 3.3 as the 3.8 as fitted to the US vehicle is missing. If your
specific modification isn't on the list then be creative and choose something
else as close as possible.
If you need to, just fill in the forms
incorrectly, then when you get your prices CALL the companies up and
explain the differences between your quote and the actual vehicle and they will
update the prices as and if needed on the phone as required and adjust the cover
accordingly. Its well worth the effort
as searching many companies at once is much faster and more thorough than
calling individual insurance companies or local brokers individually.
You might like to try Fish insurance for Scooter and Powerchair insurance cover
too. And they also insure those of us in the UK that employ our own Care Staff
under the Direct Payments System,
