It sure is cool driving a modified car. But what is a modified car? A modified car is car where some enhancement had been added to make it faster and perform more. But the most common dilemma of people with modified cars is finding the insurance company who is willing to insure their car. it is even more difficult to find a modified car insurer when much enhancements had been added to the car. Would this mean to say then that modified ca owners should give up and jus go ahead and hit the road with an insured car? What makes modified car hard to be insured is the fact that insurers don’t find vehicles bought from different country to be as safe as those made in the US. And the other reason is that they are not able to meet the legal requirements of US.

Of course that is not the solution. If you really wanted to get insured then you may consider changing the modifications in a manner which is acceptable for the insurers. This still could be a hard decision to make with the fact that people with modified cars would not like to lose their personal touch on their cars.

But before you even think of re-modifying your car, you still have to keep searching for an insurer. Who knows, there is one company out there willing to insure your modified car. With more and more people buying and owning modified cars, there are some companies who have tried to modify their policies as well to cater to the needs and protection of modify car owners.

The good thing about modified car insurers is that they give rates which are lower then the average and this is because they perfectly understand the consequences of giving coverage to modified cars. But despite this fact, there may still be a need for you to re-modify your car when it is brought from a foreign country so it can pass the U.S. legal regulations when it comes to driving.

Before you get your modified car insured ( provided you have found a willing insurer), you should make sure first that there aren’t illegal changes that you’ve made into your car and if you did then have it fixed so it can comply with the government’s standards. In the case you really can’t find an insurer then maybe sell it and buy a car which is safe and can be accepted by any insurance company.
