Remapping and Impact on Insurance - What do you pay?
« on: 01 November 2011, 17:42 »
Hi

My GTD is now back  :cool: and I'm not deterred from exploring a remap on the car but was interested to see what impact remaps had on your insurance and who you go with?
I need to ring mine up but thought I'd do a bit of research first as well as proving interesting (hopefully) reading!

I insure my un-remapped car via Adelaide Insurance in Belfast as I get a nice discount for being an IAM member - hopefully they will be mod friendly....

What increase in premium (if any) did you get when you remapped, what price do you pay per year and who do you insure with?
(I'll post my details up when I get home as I can't remember what I pay!!!!)

I've been told by Admiral that when I get mine done it will add approx. £100 onto the annual premium.  I currently pay £450 for the year.

£100 is a damn rip off! i would have thought £25-£50 was fair but thats a p!ss take

i need to speak to my insurer about this also. I'm with volkswagens own insurance as it was by far the best policy i could find and was only a few quid more than comparison site quotes.

not sure how VW insurance will be about any future modifications?

Its a difficult question to answer as insurance is based on so many things and it depends who you are with

Typical increases tend to be between 5-10%  :undecided:
