I don't know whether I've created this thread in the correct place, so I apologise in advance!

Does anyone know of any insurance companies barring Adrian Flux that specialise insurnace for modified vehicles?

Thanks

Just looked and I was wrong, they're not performance insurers Surprised they wouldn't swap policies though...

Whoever you go with Guys and Girls, always check the Small print.

Swiftcover..From personal experience from the wifes policy. In the event of an accident, yes, Courtesy car of course... FOR 14 DAYS ONLY!!! Then you're on your own to sort it.

Also admiral you have to pay extra if you want the mods to be covered

So you declare the mods and pay your moneys, but if you want them to be replaced with modified parts after an accident you have to pay more otherwise they are replaced with standard parts

I've tried Swinton & Greenlight and they wern't competitive unfortunately!

I tried Brentacre and they managed to beat Adrian Flux (my current insurer) by £50 per annum. However, after a call back to AF, they managed to match this. So it looks like I'll be staying put.
