Tinting windows does NOT increase insurance. Tell them if you want but tint film is classed as a sticker and stickers arnt accountable or peoples insurance would be dearer with bumper stickers and what not.

Hi Sophie welcome along and good luck with the test

I agree tinting shouldn't affect the insurance at all in fact none of the mods I have made to mine 3" lift, snorkel etc affected my insurance. They were on ly bothered about performance mods ie engine and brakes.

So enjoy your jim :cheer:

Most Insurers tend to base it on percentage of BHP for example adding a K&N filter doesn't have to be declared as it wont raise your BHP by 10%. This depends on the insurer though but i'm reasonably confident that window tints wont change your insurance anyways. Plus you being a girl and all already gives you about a £1'500 discount compared to me :L

Insurers are not allowed to discriminated directly on gender anymore due to an EU ruling that came into force last December.

Hello Sophie I admire your enthusiasm but have you actually checked for an insurance quote on a Jimny once you have passed your test?? I know they are only 1300cc but they are in quite a high group compared to a normal small car

Good luck on your test

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

You'll find females insurance is still significantly cheaper when compared

As gilburton says... a 1.3 KA can be insured fully comp for £600 as a new female driver... a Jimny will be closer to £1600!
