 Do bull bars affect insurance?

If it is for cosmetic reasons, then it is likely that your premiums will not be affected.

This is because insurers view bull bars as a safety device and may view drivers who have them as more likely to be involved in an accident.

Another thing to consider is the type of material the bull bar is made from. Your rates will not be affected if it is made from high strength steel construction or aluminum.

In that case, your rates could go up because these materials are more fragile and can be more easily damaged in an accident.
