I am a writer with ValuePenguin (www.valuepenguin.com), a site that provides consumers with helpful articles and information on financial topics. I’m looking to interview auto insurance agents, claims adjusters, attorneys and other industry professionals for the following article:
ARTICLE: DO I NEED SPECIAL AUTO INSURANCE COVERAGE IF I ADD FEATURES TO OR MODIFY MY CAR?This story will explore how modifying/customizing a car can affect auto insurance coverage. Below is a list of questions I’m seeking answers to. I can either conduct a phone or email interview (with the latter, please email me back full-sentence written responses that I can use as quotes). My deadline is noon central time, Thursday, Oct. 8, 2015.
QUESTIONS:1. What is the difference between “modifying” and “customizing” your car? Are there any other similar terms used in the industry?2. What are the most common modifications/customizations that drivers add to their automobiles (e.g., custom audio system installation, tinted windows, faster engine, hydraulics to jump up and down, etc.)? 3. To what extent does a typical auto insurance policy cover or not cover a car that has been modified/customized? Why will an insurer deny coverage for a particular modification—can you explain why and provide an example?4. Do insurers offer riders/endorsements/expanded coverage policies in these instances? What are the extra costs?5. What should drivers consider carefully and explore before making a car modification/customization?6. What tips/advice would you give to readers who may be considering a modification/customization?7. Do you have any statistics/data that illustrate this topic in any way? Please cite the source of the data. 8. What is your full name, title, degrees/credentials, company, city/state location, and email address?
