When you buy a new car with parking sensors and a styling pack which includes a tow hitch, do you have to notify the insurance company of these?

If something comes from the manufacturer, it is not a modification, but an optional extra. A modification is an item that is not from the OE manufacturer. You do not need to notify the insurer of optional extras though it is best that you do, as that way they cannot advise there were not aware. And you must always make them aware of items that are non-standard.
