Insurance with a non-motoring convicion.
« on: 28 April 2010, 12:39 »
Okay. I want to get on with some modding of the car, but Privilege (my current insurers) want to whack £350 on top of my existing £250 premium, and bump up my yearly by £58 for the first mod. Second and third as I described them would be included it seems. He wasn't sure after that.
Simple mods:
Quad lights
3rd brake light Hella OEM spoiler
Perhaps tinting back side windows

The problem is that I have a non-motoring related record from just under 5 years ago. So a load of insurers won't touch me. Luckily, it expires in September, and I no longer have to declare it.

In the meantime, does anyone know of a good, mod friendly insurer that doesn't care about non-motoring convictions? Some don't seem to mention it when filling out the quote forms, but then ask it as the LAST possible question when you chat on the phone.

Adrian Flux just gave a provisional online quote of £557. They didn't ask about convictions, but I shall try ringing them later. Is about the same as I am paying now too :)

So if you have been to prison for example this will effect your car insurance?
