Insurance after Remap
« on: 03 June 2010, 11:17 »
E-Maps are tweaking my Mk6 GTI with Oettinger 'Stage One' on 1 July and I found out yesterday that my current insurance company (Privilege) no longer cover engine mods  :cry:

So I spent a few hours yesterday researching cover and had some crazy quotes from so called 'specialist' mod friendly brokers.  Adrian Flux quoted me £880 full comp with Aviva.  Greenlight were better at £597.

This was bad news, so I decided to call those 'quote me happy' people directly and, guess what, they will cover me for £334 fully comp with protected no claims, legal cover, etc and £350 excess.  This is less than I paid Privilege when I got the car and with a lower excess  :tongue:  So how much commission are Adrian Flux taking  :angry:

Better news still is that Privilege will fully reimburse me for premium pro rata without an admin fee, as it is due to their underwriting changes that I can no longer insure the car with them.

The insurance market for modified ECU's seems to be tightening up, so try Aviva!  Also, don't even think about non-disclosure.

PS. I am 44 so I guess lower risk  :smug:
