Check your current policy. You will see wording to that effect.
Hm, idk that I have a problem with this.
If you increase the cost of your car by let's say $10k, wouldn't you expect to pay a higher premium anyways? I don't have a problem having a higher premium if it means I'm going to get coverage. I have a problem with the possibility of losing $10k in the blink of an eye.
