Who's the best insurance company for a young driver with a heavily modified Mini? I live in a fairly quiet location and will be doing low mileage

[filski]

none mate, i would either unmodify it or dont declare it but that opens can of worms

[filski]

just looked at your build it doesnt look too heavily modified what are the actual mods

Well that's not accurate at all.

 

There are companies who insure young drivers with modified cars. I made a list of them as I'll need one, but I can't find it..

That hasn't been updated in ages, not a lot of it is standard, rung up adrian flux out of interest and quoted me £3000 a year :)

 Try AVIVA.

That's the best quote I can get at the moment.

 

Not that bad really for a new driver..

[Anthony30]

Are you getting quotes through comparison websites? I would phone for quotes.

[Gremlin]

Yeah I phoned adrian flux

I dont know how it is now but i cannot image it being cheaper but having bucket seats and spot lights at the front and some alloys pretty much trippled my insurance and that was with Adrian flux i think. But back then i could not even imagine paying 3k for an insurance, to mean cheap insurance for a young driver would be below £1k

Adrian Flux always seem very expensive. My first insurance policy was with Footman James, but I don't think they insure driver under the age of 21 now. Give AVIVA a phone call, seemed reasonable for me last year.

Just got an online quote from aviva but could only choose 4 mods which barely scratched the surface and got quoted £3000

[alex-95]

Have you tried admiral? They were cheapest for me through compare the market, but then I'm driving a pretty mcuh unmodified mini...

[HarrysMini]

What mods do you have?

[Gremlin]

Lots :) I'll put up some pics tomorrow
