In short, no! The price you pay when you take out your policy is fixed for the policy year unless you make any changes to the policy

Your policy price depends on how many miles you expect to travel. Fewer miles could mean a lower price.

Yes, but you should call the NuBee Team on 0345 470 2550 to check that the modification on your car is covered by your insurer.

No doubt about it, negotiating your first year of driving is tough, and sometimes it’s easy to fall into the trap of buying a modified car.

Ask most people what they consider to be a modification and the answer you’ll receive is ‘huge spoilers and blacked out windows’. Both correct, but a modification is any change to a vehicle that wasn’t part of the original specification, like non-standard alloys, stereos and even stickers.

Purchasing a modified car can cause problems further down the line, such as invalidated insurance – and no one wants that.

Other problems owners of modified cars can face are:

• DIY modification projects can make the vehicle unsafe to drive
• Performance-enhancing aspects of a car can cause more damage in a crash, putting you at higher risk of injury
• Heavily modified cars are prime targets for thieves (and vandals, sadly)

First, look for the obvious:

• Are the wheels a different make to the car itself?
• Do the alloys look painted or overly large?
• Can you see through all the windows to look inside the car?
• Have there been any changes to the shape of the bodywork?
• Is there additional bodywork for example fins or skirts?

Granted not all modifications are as easy to spot, but if something doesn’t seem quite right to you feel free to ask the owner or garage you’re planning to purchase the car from. If you aren’t able to do that you can always head to Google! Search the specification of vehicle you’re looking to buy and see – do the images reflect the car you’re looking at buying?

If you’ve checked all of the above, but you’re still unsure, get in touch on 0345 470 2550 and we’ll be happy to assist.

At NuBee we love safe drivers, and we don’t think you should have to pay for other road users bad habits.

That’s why by sharing your driving data with the NuBee Team via the Theo Device you’ll receive an upfront discount on your car insurance.

We then look at factors such as; who you are, the car you drive and how you’re going to use it. We run it through some clever calculations and the result is your premium.

And you can rest assured that we won’t increase that price, so long as your details remain the same.

We know it can be hard to predict your mileage, especially if it’s your first car insurance policy. 

 Please use the mileage calculator below or you can chat to the NuBee Team about mileage by calling 0345 470 2550.

If it looks like you’re going to exceed your mileage allowance, you can top-up at any point.

The price you pay for your miles will depend on the number of miles you are requiring. 

Don’t worry, before you reach your agreed annual mileage, the NuBee Team will make contact and you can then either;
