Do you drive the car hard enough in places where you might need it?

It will go up as there is the impression of a cage fitted for faster driving and also hitting your head on it in a crash

Not really but its an added safty feature

Thats what we thought would happen, If its £100 a year more its not a problem. There would be padded bars near my head

Does not make a difference about padding as a cages friend is a helmet and that still bloody hurts

Unless you hit your head on it, then you'll most likely kill yourself.

Save a cage for the track, where you're wearing a helmet.

I was off roading in my Range Rover (fully kitted out desert raid job) and there was a guy with a caged up Landrover at the same event, He clonked his head on his padded cage with no helmet on, he died quite soon after so i'd say dont waste your money unless its a track car and your wearing a helmet and 4 point harness.

interesting thread. Never realised a cage would effect the insurance!

Scratch that off the list then!

I got a quote for the Supra for a rear cage, put it up £10

I have a rol bar thats bolt in, wouldn't think of taking it out when using the car on the road.

Also wouldn't wear my helmet when on the road, but i do use my 5 point harness.

My thoughts are that if anything did happen the harness would keep me in the seat and not to much body movement.

When having a roll bar fitted make sure it has clearance above your head, this would allow for the extra space needed for your helmet if your are wearing it.

Roll bar padding is neaded on any part of the roll bar that your 'helmet' may strike. So surley the extra space means that if you are strapped into your seat with an harness the chances of hitting your head are reduced?

If you are going to the trouble of having a good quality roll bar fitted and don't bother with an harness of good quality what the point?

'For show'

You may also want to think on how good the roll bar if fixed to the car?

Insurance companies may view most people that fit roll bars as only doing half a job?

Just my thought on the subject

It all depends on how wisely you chose your insurers. Some insurers will not even cover a 'caged car...

For arguments sake,... How about Sky Insurance???

You are looking at a 15% load on your premium but this can vary.
