Best Insurance Companys
Im gettin my G1 soon, and while i have that im going to look for a car when im around 17. Im goign to modify it exteriorly, probably like ricing most likely lol. But i was wonderining, what are the best insurance companies that arent very expensive that will take you if you modify your car, but not the engine. Im probably going to mod the engine in a few years time, so im not worrying about that. Thanks

There is no such thing as Good Insurance companies. They are all evel and just scam you of your money
They all do the same shit (nothing), so go with the least evil one = aka one that offeres YOU the best price I'm curently w/ Bel Air Direct under a family policy (3 cars & house) and the whole thing is $338/month $283 of that is for the cars and $110 of the car portion is my car. I think i have one of the lowest insurance rates on here, but the downside is i can't MOD my car according to them. So basically i'm paying so in case i get pulled over i have some slip to show, because if i ever get in an accident i got to fork out the cash to fix my car most likely. ------------------ Nick | 2001 Golf 1.8T | www.mygolfiv.com | www.hpaddicts.com | Need Cheap Hosting ?? www.WEJhosting.com $50/Year |

im also with state farm and they told me that i am perfectly fine with "Body Modifitcations" kits etc etc, BUT! as soon as i change the center of gravity on the car they will cancell me, i am paying out the ass for my insurance, but we wont go there
also my broker told me that if i were to add any performance part to my car (engine wise) even air intakes then they would cancell the insurance.but with audio shit i was told they will cover up to 1000 in audio------------------ 98 golf Trunks are for elephants!

Occasional drivers have ALOT of restrictions on them with most companies. Can't drive to work, can't have the car for more than 3 consecutive hours, etc etc. Thats not BS, a friends sister got SCREWED because she was in an accident on her way to work, driving their parents van as an occasional driver. ------------------ Roses are #FF0000 Violets are #0000FF All my base are belong to you. |

I would shop around for Insurance. Being a first time insurer I would not even mention anything about the Mods you would want to do. They catch wind of that and and your quote will mysteriously be higher then other quotes. But the best way to get good insurance is to stay off your parents. The longer you are with a company with your own policy the better your rates get. (so long as your record stays clean). I have been on my own for 7 years and I am now paying $95 per month and they are aware of all the mods on the car. (Pilot Insurance)
