Drivers warned that modifications may invalidate insurance
Tesco Car Insurance has warned motorists, who want to make modifications to their vehicles, that they should inform their insurers. Those who choose not to tell their car insurance providers about such modifications are at risk of having their policies becoming void if they have to make a claim.
A company spokesperson said that insurance providers are not against motorists modifying their vehicles. However, it is essential that people inform their insurers about these alterations so that policies can be adjusted accordingly. Those who choose to ignore this advice could find that they are in for a shock if they find they do not have adequate cover simply because they didn’t provide their insurers with the correct information.
Research has found that those drivers who are aged between 16 and 24 are most likely to modify their vehicles. It has also been reported that the current economic downturn appears to have had no effect on the amount of motorists who are seeking to enhance their vehicle’s bodywork.
