insurance for a supercharged vs?

vr_owner · #1 12-09-2007, 06:50 PM

hi guys my brother only days ago installed a raptor supercharger onto his car, but he has ran into a problem because hes is only 20 and still on his p's no one wants to insure him, we've rang shannons, racv, and just cars, he currently is inusred with racv but they arent going to continue after the 19th because of the s/c, does anyone on this forum know a insurance company that will insure him? thanks

hey this is a bit off topic but how does his car go with the raptor setup?

He might be in a bit of trouble there, but I'm sure I have heard of other young people insuring supercharged cars.

Maybe put it under your parents name with you as a nominated driver or something?

Surely he should have considered the insurance question when he decided to put the supercharger on? It would be the first thing that would pop into my head.

If Just Cars wont take him i dont think anyone else would even think about it. They love taking money of guys with modded cars.

My only suggestion would be Vigil. Pretty silly to only be thinking about this now though.

I'd doubt even a broker would touch this case...

What's his driving history like?

Just Cas insured me when I was 20 with a blown VS, I changed over to Shannon's a year later and am still with them now (2 cars and contents insurance through them at the moment - top notch).

yeah i would have been thinkin about it before i fitted the blower.........he can always drive it with the charger un-insured but as someone said if you have a crash you wont get anything!

the thing that gets me about just cars, is the fact that on their ads they say: "just got an import?" and "just modified?" and crap that like then they say its insurance for young drivers.........yet they wont insure half the young drivers WITH modifications..........well young drivers on their P's............

Maybe he should give ownership to you parents and then insure in just there name.
I think most companys will allow for an unlisted driver to drive the car but there will be an additional xs.
But i have to agree that he should have looked before he leapt.
