AJI Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Have any of you guys actually got your insurance company to agree on the price of your Supra (or any car) during your insurance cover period? Insurance companies used to allow you to state the market value of your vehicle according to what you valued it at.... and then they adjust you premium to suit. Now all they state is that if the worst should happen all you will get is THEIR market value estimate, which 15 times out of 10 is a good few £1000 short of the true value of your car. I have no idea why on most quotes that you do you have to state what you paid for your car because this has no meaning when it comes to them putting their own value estimate onto it. I rang my insurance up the other day and no matter what I tried to do they wouldn't entertain the idea of coming to an agreement on what the current value of my car, according to me, would be. Why insure your car or any item for way less then the value that you yourself place on it ???? I can see why a lot of people drive uninsured.

uk-rich Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 yes they do, it costs a extra £35, which i think is ok in the bigger picture if the worst was to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Lancaster Insurance also offer an 'agreed value' on your car for a little extra on your premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaoriFan Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 sky are great for agreed value, it does cost 35gbp. but the peace of mind is worth it. you just need to fill in a form with the value you want, send some photos and they will do the rest. and they are very helpful with any questions you may have. ja ne Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 thanks for the info guys. It must be the internet only insurance companies that won't agree values. I'm currently with Elephant.co.uk and Egg.com (neither will agree a value). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
