Before Pimping Your Ride… - June 2, 2008
The MTV show Pimp My Ride inspired many to go all-out on their vehicles, turning them into flashy boomboxes and mobile multimedia arenas. But before you go modifying your car, think about the implications of these changes to your insurance policy. Depending on the insurance company, mods can render your policy void and invalid. If you file a claim, the coverage will only go as far as restoring your car to its pre-mod state, as stated in the policy. Look for specialist insurers who are keen on carving their niche in the business. If the rumors are true, there could be a company with cheaper premiums for modified cars, with the rationale being that special cars will get special attention and care from their owners, which makes a lot of sense.
