Poptop insurance doubling the cost

[Dmw916]

Just added my poptop to my insurance details and it's gone up £400 seems alot does this seem the normal amount I'm 6 months into my policy now

I don’t pay much more than that for the entire van, including a poptop.

 

[bobbybasic]

Yeah that's too much I'd say.

Talk to Brentacre to get an idea of a fair price.

Consider leaving your current insurance provider if it is not specialised enough to quote fairly for modifications and improvements.

Adding mods mid year is often a lot more expensive than adding them when taking out the insurance

Not with Brentacre.

Not with Brentacre.

Then I guess topic starter isn't with them.. He's asking if it's normal to be quoted so much to add the modification

I'm with Admiral and it never costs me much to add anything either.

who are you insured with?

 

[Dmw916]

Insured with just kampers , already paid £400 for the policy at the start they told me to add the mods to the policy every time they are added to the van .

Wowser. I’m with Brentacre and I pay £370 for the year. With pop top and lowered and 20” wheels and full conversion, 204 4M and agreed value.
And it’s parked on the street as I have no drive.

 

[Wills]

I’d be asking them why they’re taking the p1ss. JK is just a broker so who is the insurance company?

 

[Dmw916]

It's Sterling, they gave me a choice of paying the £400 or cancelling and taking out a new policy of £980.think I'll be calling brentacre tomorrow to see what they can offer

Jeez I need to move house.

Your van is much newer though. That’s the price I paid when it was just a van. The changes didn’t affect the premium.

Plus an M postcode is the highest group in the country. A BL one a hundred yards or so away on the same street is quite a bit cheaper :/
