Your Insurance Won't Pay Out. And You Don't Even Know It.
You spent £8,000 on that engine swap. £3,200 on the lift kit. Your pride and joy. Then you crash — and your insurer denies the entire claim because you never told them about the mods. Not just the mods — the whole claim. Total loss. Zero payout. And it's completely legal.
68% of Modified Vehicles Are Driving Uninsured — and the Owners Don't Know
Not because they're trying to commit fraud. Not because they're reckless. Because nobody told them that a cold air intake, a remap, or even different alloy wheels can void their entire policy.
The £15K Engine Swap That Voided Everything
You built the motor of your dreams. Forged internals, big turbo, standalone ECU. £15,000 in parts and tuning. Then a motorway collision totals the car. Insurer investigates, finds undeclared modifications, and voids the policy from inception. You get zero — for the car AND the £15K build.
The Lift Kit Nobody Told The Insurer About
You lifted your 4x4 for green-laning. Suspension, tyres, underbody armour. Looks mint. But when someone rear-ends you at a roundabout, the insurer's assessor spots the mods. You're now "materially misrepresented" — claim denied. Your fault? Nobody's. But the law says it's yours.
The "You Should Have Told Us" Letter
It arrives 3 weeks after your claim. "Following our investigation, we have identified vehicle modifications not declared on your policy schedule. As these constitute a material fact, we are unable to proceed with your claim." The letter that costs you everything — and it's perfectly legal under the Insurance Act 2015.
The Spiral: Denied → Uninsurable → Stuck
A voided policy isn't just this claim — it follows you. Future insurers ask "have you ever had insurance declined or voided?" You answer yes. Premiums triple. Some won't quote at all. One undeclared mod cascade: claim denial → voided policy → uninsurable → can't drive your car legally.
InsureMod — Never Drive Uninsured Again
The app that tracks every modification on your vehicle, sends you a reminder to notify your insurer, and pre-fills the notification form so it takes 90 seconds — not 90 minutes of digging through your build history.
🔧 Modification Tracker
Log every modification — engine, suspension, body, interior, ECU, exhaust. Photos, receipts, part numbers. Your complete build history in one place, always up to date. Never wonder "did I tell them about that remap?" again.
Core📝 Pre-Filled Notification Forms
When you add a mod, InsureMod pre-fills your insurer's modification declaration form with make, model, part, cost, and installation date. You review and send — 90 seconds instead of hunting through invoices and forum PMs.
Smart🔍 Mod-Friendly Insurance Quotes
Connected to specialist brokers (Adrian Flux, Greenlight, Brentacre, A-Plan) who actually understand modifications. Get quotes from insurers that cover mods — not the ones who'll void your policy for a cold air intake.
Power🛡️ Claim Protection Score
InsureMod cross-references your logged mods against your declared policy schedule. Green = all mods declared, fully protected. Amber = mod detected, notification pending. Red = undeclared — fix this before you drive.
Secret Sauce⏰ Smart Reminders
Just fitted a new exhaust? InsureMod detects your location at a garage or parts shop and prompts you: "New mod? Log it now and we'll notify your insurer." Two taps. Done. Before you start the engine, your policy is up to date.
Proactive📷 Policy Check Scanner
Upload your insurance certificate. InsureMod scans for declared modifications and compares against your build log. Flags gaps instantly. "Your policy lists 3 mods. You've logged 7. These 4 are at risk." Before an accident, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really have to tell my insurer about every modification?
Yes. Under the Insurance Act 2015 and the Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012, you have a duty to disclose material facts. A modification IS a material fact. This includes performance mods (remaps, turbos), cosmetic mods (body kits, wraps), and even "minor" changes like alloy wheels. Failure to disclose can result in your policy being voided from inception — meaning you were never insured at all.
How is this different from just emailing my insurer?
Emailing your insurer works — IF you remember every mod, have all the receipts, know the exact part numbers, and actually send the email. Most people don't. InsureMod automates the entire notification pipeline: log a mod → pre-filled form appears → one tap sends it. And it tracks what you've declared vs what's on your build log, so you always know you're covered.
Does it work with all insurers?
The notification system works with any insurer that accepts modification declarations by email or web form (which is all of them). The mod-friendly quote marketplace focuses on specialist insurers — Adrian Flux, Greenlight, Brentacre, A-Plan, Chris Knott — who actively want modified vehicle business and will actually cover your mods at a fair premium.
What if I bought the car already modified?
Even more reason to use InsureMod. Many people buy modified cars without knowing the full modification history — the previous owner did the work, didn't document it properly, and now you're driving a car with undeclared mods you don't even know about. InsureMod's Policy Check Scanner compares what's on the car to what's on your policy and flags the gaps.
