Automotive Car Insurance Washington WA
Reader’s Question:
I am just wondering if I change the looks of my car, does it increase the price of my car insurance rate in Washington?

Most insurance providers in Washington will not cover cars that have been altered, modified, restored mechanically or structurally which results in a change in appearance or performance including any lowered or raised chassis. If you have simply included or added a ‘body aerodynamics kit’ then your premiums would not increase nor would your car be unable to be insured. Additionally, any special equipment or customization to your car would not be covered unless added by a specific endorsement.
You may speak with your insurance agent or broker to get specifics regarding your question.
