Usual question - insurance is up, and given prices are changing so much has anyone got any recent quotes for a modified car?

Renewal price has come in at £420, from £440 last year, so basically happy to go with that unless anyone has any tips.

Couple of surprises so far:

- Performance Direct: £500 last year, £1000 this year.

- Debenhams (just for a laugh, GoCompare chucked it out): £3400

I'll give Flux a call but they are always pricey for me, even though they're always mentioned for modified cars. Sky pricey for me too.

Any help appreciated

If your insurance has actually gone down in price this year(which is rare nowadays!) & your happy with the insurance policy you have id personally renew your policy.

Why not haggle with your current provider threatening to leave..works every time for me..

£420 is a bargain. Who's that with? Mine's up for renewal and of the month and is looking like 600-1000 depending on company!!!

You could always try Skoda insurance? They were cheapest including my mods declared:thumbup: I paid £380 with full NCB. Also replace like for like parts and at only Skoda approved places i.e main dealers etc.

Interesting - Skoda's response was "it's not the kind of risk we'd be looking to insure" - not sure how you managed it!

Did some ringing around today as I'm on baby sitting duty - a load more ridiculous quotes from so say modification specialists, I am however quite pleased to see more of the main stream sites including mods in their quote engines with a load of tick boxes to select what you've done - Elephant and Admiral (same?) for example both gave quotes around the £470 mark.

Currently with Graham Sykes - couldn't be beaten last year, probably can't this year. Haven't had to claim so can't really comment on how good they are generally (their paperwork/communication is very old school) but their prices are top notch. Better give them a quick ring to make sure they've got all mods accounted for.

Note of caution - some of the multi quote people (GoCompare, Money Supermarket etc) are quite happy to quote you for modified insurance and give you some seamingly excellent prices - only when you go to the site of the provider and check their eligibility criteria do you read that modified cars are comprehensively NOT insured!

Aviva were under £300 for me this time. My renewal notice from More Than was over £400.
