Approved insurer - Howden

Trusted by over thousands of VW owners across the UK.

Modified

Golf

If your VW has been modified — remapped, lifted, fitted with aftermarket wheels, a snorkel, a bullbar, or anything else beyond factory specification — a standard policy is unlikely to cover it correctly. Most insurers exclude undeclared modifications, which means a single claim could be rejected outright.

Howden are VW specialists with dedicated modified vehicle underwriters. Because every modified VW is different, cover cannot be quoted accurately through an online form. A specialist will take you through your modifications one by one, agree a fair value for the vehicle, and build a policy around the van or car you actually own.

How it works: Call Howden directly using the button below. A specialist will review your build over the phone and arrange cover tailored to your exact specification — including agreed value where appropriate, so you are not left short in the event of a total loss. When asked where you heard about Howden, say VW OWNERS CLUB to apply your group discount.

If your VW is unmodified or close to factory specification, Howden can quote online in minutes. Most VW owners are paying more than they need to at renewal — insurers rarely reward loyalty, and premiums tend to creep up year on year even on a clean record, simply because most drivers do not shop around.

Howden are VW specialists, so the quote is built around the vehicle and the driver rather than a generic template. Cover, excess and optional extras are all set out clearly before you commit, and the VW Owners Club group discount is applied automatically.

How it works: Complete Howden’s short online form with your vehicle and driver details. A sales specialist will then call you back to confirm the details, talk through your options and provide a tailored quote — with the VW Owners Club discount already applied.
