'Modified' vehicles.

[simonm]

Both my local nfu offices wouldn't insure me as i was outside both their areas! despite 1 saying i was on the others patch! eh

Just used a High Street broker who found one of the cheapest, told them when we fitted front towbar, had an extra driver added then had it signwritten, all for no extra. Strange how some seem satisfied so long as you tell them re mods.

 

Using a broker is the answer, we have loads of oddball kit and our broker has managed to get insurance on all of it. Some have needed photos but by and large the mods just need explaining properly to the underwriters. Online is hopeless

Thanks for the replies guys - I'll give NFU a try as we have an office not too far away.

 

It all seems a bit ridiculous - it's not like I've lowered it and put a nitrous kit in!

Both my land rovers are modified ( winch, lift kit, tyres, I for top. ) was told once 1 modified iterm is listed and its classed as modified you can add what ever as long as you let them know. Adrian flux insurance is best to talk to.

 

Just be careful with Adrian Flux we were insured with them , had a landrover valued (after modifications ) and agreed a policy with them. Unfortunately the truck was stolen and when we came to claim they only paid two thirds of the sum it was insured for. When asking them to find a vehicle of the same spec for the money they were offering ,they declined and said this was a service they did not offer (probably because they knew that they wouldn't be able to find one). The truck was subsequently recovered from a travellers site in Surrey (along with 4 others) but because we eventually had to accept their offer ,when it was found they took ownership of it and it was advertised for sale ....strangely enough at the value that we had originally insured it for. N F U are a much better company to deal with and when a friend of mine had to claim they paid the full sum insured for and he received the money within 4 weeks .
