Do you declare your remap on your insurance policy?

[Craigh1983]

Just been sorting out my car insurance and I decided to tell the woman on the phone that I have a remap as she asked about modifications. She told me that due to that, they cannot cover me.

I was wondering does anyone else declare their remap and if I don't declare it, is there any way they can tell that I have one should I make a claim in the future? My remap is a stage 1 R-Tech map.

Thanks

If you mod it, declare it.

If they don't cover what you want them to cover, move insurers..

I'm guessing it's the admiral group that's said no?

Nah it was Axa. I did think about then going online and doing it online lol but I thought if I do need to make a claim then they may find it? Thing is it takes the premium up by a huge amount saying that I have a remap.

Take the remap off if you cant afford it.

Admiral don't cover remaps.. Only cover chips so I have to wait till this time next year for my remap

Best declaring. You won't forgive yourself if you have to claim and then your insurance company won't pay out because you didn't declare the mod.

I switched recently as I wanted to get a stage 1 remap

Just with you being foolish enough to state that you would change insurers and not declare your remap, I thought you might be stupid enough to put your reg on here...

I had just renewed my policy with Hastings direct then I got a remap . I rang them to tell them
And they would not cover it , so I rang sky insurance from this forum and with my mods declared
It was cheaper that before 

Oh that's good then.
I will give them a call!

Elephant allow you to select modifications from a list when you apply for a quote. A remap doesn't usually add a great deal.

Many people probably don't declare remaps but in the event of an incident it wouldn't surprise me if they checked, any excuse not to pay out!
