What is Agreed Value Insurance?

A valuation or photos are often required. Policies may include mileage limits. It avoids disputes over a classic’s market value after a loss. Club membership can sometimes reduce classic insurance premiums.

How it works

Insurer and owner agree the value when the policy starts, rather than using market value at the time of loss.

Why it matters for your car

Update the agreed value after restoration or price rises. Check usage limits, such as mileage and storage conditions.
