Well I got a reply back from my useless insurance company....

 

Thank you for your e-mail.

 

I have re checked the quote advised to have the rear window tinted and the

increase in premium of £196.52 is correct. I have refered this also to my

manager for you and they have advised this is correct. Our underwriters set

the premium and when a car is modified this is seen as a higher risk. The car

is seen as being more attractive and therefor increase the chance of a theft.

 

If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact me on the

Customer Services number below. Please include your policy number, date of

birth and postcode in any e-mails sent to Admiral to comply with Data

Protection and to enable us to deal with your enquiry.

 

Yours sincerely

its interesting this declaration stuff...............eg i wonder how many people actually declare their jspec is delimited?

 

You can only reasonably be expected to declare mods you are aware of...and how are we meant to know whether or not the car is limited to 112mph when the highest speed limit in this country is 70mph? :D

no, as its a factory option, and you havnt done it.

 

 

Sorry but wrong.

 

If you buy a factory car with optional side skirts, spoiler and colour coded mud flaps then thats a modification and your premium will be higher.

 

Already had this fight with a insurance company :(

The increase is not purely due to theft angle.

 

I once dealt with a claim, where the driver of the car had tinted windows and because they were tinted and it was dark, they did not see my client, who was walking across the middle of pavement entrance to a shop. Insurance company paid out over £1m in the end. So, they are seen as a bit of a liability

Not all insurance companies, one that i read clearley states that modifications need only be declared if they were NOT done as a munufacturer option ;)
