what would you wish to lie about?
When my BGT was a 4 cylinder it had a stainless steel exhaust. However, it was identical to the mild steel pattern so it was a mod and it wasnt. I didnt see fit to declare that as the only change was the material the thing was made from. There was no performance increase it just lasts longer!
SO, what are you considering keeping to yourself?

I don't have any fixed ideas just curious as to what can be gotten away with to help save those pennys! Hell, i don't even have the car yet!

I actually tested that (out of pure interest) and it made no difference what so ever with Churchill.
I just did a quote and amended it 3 times for road, drive and garage and my quote was the same every time

Maybe it doesn't actually reduce your premium, but say your car is stolen whilst parked on the road outside your house, and you stated that it would be kept in your garage, they may not wish to cover you...? I don't know, just a thought.

Yeah so might as well say it's on the road all the time then really and it's not much of a suggestion to the op to save some pennies.
Saying that, it might actually reduce your premium with other insurers.
Like the guys said, if you declare facts that aren't 100% accurate it's fraud and you may find that they won't cover you in the event of something happening.
Having said that, being creative is something most people do to an extent, look at having another (experienced) driver on like a parent, even if they're unlikely to drive it much, look at excess (although you'll have to pay it so that one could come back to bite you). Employment can be a huge problem - if I register as a weather forecaster, a civil servant an MoD employee or someone that works on a military instalation I get four VERY different quotes (oddly, only one group noticed that the car was kept in a secure area - armed guards and all that). All are true, for a given value of true.
Addresses are probably the main worry, if it's insured at your home address and it gets broken into at uni you might get grief from the company, but look into policies where you can have the car at a different location, although that in itself can drive up your premiums.

...But does anyone here want to be a vicar???
ummmm. Im looking more to becoming owner of a multinational, and simply buying an insurance company!
to be honest, if the insurers can get away without paying up in the event of a claim, they will. they will check your car for things you havent told them about, ive even heard of someone not getting a payout for a theft from the car because it was parked on the roadside when the policy said it was garaged. so dont bother lying about what youve got or havent got on your car. tell the truth. apart from the fact lets say your got a great big exhaust/wheels/bodykit on your car and you have an accident involving another vehicle. . mr insurance is going to come and have a look at your car to value it - and what does he find? something you didn't declare. so what happens here is: your insurance is void - you get no money. you get reported to the police - and either get points, a fine or your licence taken off you - or all 3, and the person you had a crash with doesnt get any money either cos you are in effect an uninsured driver and he or she will have to claim off there own instead of yours and there premium goes up for something youve done. its really not worth lying about anything, even if its just he tinyest thing. insurance isn't cheap and its a rip off especially for the older, cheaper cars yes, but at the end of the day you have to pay it, like it or not.
