Drivers told to check modifications are covered in car insurance

Enthusiasts of the TV show Pimp My Ride who take to personalising their own cars, have been told by the website onlyfinance.com to check that the upgrades are covered in their car insurance policies.

After seeing what can be done in a car and what accessories can be included, many drivers are now not content with having their car re-sprayed or having a new set of mats on the floor, instead drivers are seeking out LCD monitors and DVD players and other gadgets for their vehicles.

These kinds of modifications can add to the overall cost of the car or to its car insurance quote, but drivers should firstly make sure that the advancements are covered in the car insurance policy.

Thus, before making any modifications, drivers should check with their car insurance company that their planned improvements will be covered in their policy.

Car modifications are likely to increase the overall value of a car, but purchasing a new car could also set a buyer back another £300 in the near future, according to the Daily Telegraph, because Brussels want all new cars to be fitted with environmentally-friendly tyres.
