Good insurers for X5s with Modifications

Post by RichB » Wed Jul 27, 2011 10:33 am

Hi,

I have a garage full of stuff waiting to be fitted to my X5 3.0D, looking forward to getting on with it; most are factory fit options, so not worried necessarily about these, but the question of insurance concerns me; for those of you who have modified X5's, especially if you have had them remapped; who are you insured with and how tolerant are they of mods? Any car mag has lots of companies listed as mod friendly, but they are ususally as bad as any other in reality, same underwriters after all.

Currently I'm with Swiftcover which will cover pretty much everything I want to do, bar potentially the fake exhaust, and definitly not the remap.

Not a lot of point in people listing what their actual quote is unless you are Male, 33, 1 no fault claim in last 5 years, endless NCB, no points, and do 15K business miles/year. However, the companies that you found to be tolerent to mods I would be very interested in?

Cheers
Richard

Hi Rich,

Give Sky Insurance a call 08701121759 as I've just renewed with them. Like for like on the mods and sensible excess, etc beat everyone else by about £100. Same vehicle as yourself but with BBK's, 22's, ICE, etc, etc.
