You usually have to send them loads of pics mileage mot basically prove that your car is tip top.
Can't remember if I actually went with it on any of my cars or not now but as I didn't claim I dont know if they try to wriggle out of the deal.
:) thanks for info.
looks like insurance is going up this year by some way.
getting quotes in now and not even close to last year will have to see what my renewal is :)
Renewed all my insurances in March and they were all similar to the last couple of years
I used to get offered agreed value but they dont seem to do that anymore.
I am surprised your renewal has gone up so definitely a good idea to shop around.
I remember getting an agreed value on the Land Rover. Basically had to take photos from every angle, interior and engine, and list the modifications that make it the value you want.
I used Adrian Flux at the time, but there are plenty specialists out there that will do it.
Have you asked Greenlight or Chris Knott?
:) iam with greenlight and chris knott qouted nearly £400 and a few others have as well,
last year was £250 ish just waiting for them to see what price they got this year. as i spoke to them on Monday.

Are you sure they've got the right car - those prices are ridiculous :o

I think insurance is bound to go up they had to pay out millions and millions on business interruption policys because of COVID.
And pay they're legal bills because they contested it all the way up to the supreme Court.

Paul's car has no performance mods at all. Or suspension mods that I remember. He's added DRL and maybe a few other nice touches but nothing that would put off the big insurers.

At renewal, last September, I posted:
Insurance renewal time again.
Last years premium with non-affiliate insurer: £209.00
Quote from Chris Knott (same declarations/history etc): £355.00My actual renewal was £168.
(Car lowered, and has TTE exhaust).

168 is good that's roughly what I paid 5-6 years ago when I had a stock 2.

I did have an agreed value on the Audi a year back.. but honestly, they'll find a way around it if they can.
I've adopted the position/attitude that they will not pay up or defend you if they can help it so if they do anything better than that you're pleasantly surprised ( I have yet to be..ever).
:) well i took the plunge today and got new insurance with the 2 on a agreed value policy
its £20 more than my renewal and they agreed the sum before i took out the policy.
as with all insurance you never no if you are insured even with certificate of any insurance unless they pay out :)
Thread bump.
I have all of my classic cars with classicline insurance and all with agreed values. My MR2 is on a standard policy and I'm thinking I'm going to move it across later this month when the insurance is up.
Has anyone got an agreed value on their MR2?
My car is 2004 with 115k and in immaculate condition with recent repaint, proper expensive mohair hood, new wheels, full audio install and tan leather interior upgrade. Plus all refreshed suspension and brakes etc and white line arbs when I got the new blue one immediately after the silver was written off two years ago.
Two years ago on a standard insurance policy I got £2800 when the silver car was written off. That had a Swansea roof, standard wheels and interior but similar audio and the refreshed suspension brakes etc. it was on 130k. Thinking therefore an agreed value of say 5k at least should be achievable on the blue one? Thoughts
I agree with your logic.
But find insurance companies unfathomable at times.
I have mine on agreed value with Adrian Flux. Insured for £5,500.
JDM car with 103,000 miles 2001, with factory installed LSD, rebuilt engine, the valuable close ratio JDM gearbox, TRD strut braces, TRD short shifter, TRD stage 2 fromt bumper, TRD spoiler, genuine rainbow foglamps, Jack Smith roof, under bracing, leather, hard top, air con, fitted luggage....
£5,500 is still not close to replacement value though!
Thanks Carolyn, on all my other cars u have had to send them 6 photos so will give it a go and see what I can get. With the others when I added them I took a punt at a figure and then negotiated down so I'll start with 8 and see how low it gets
Hi.
If anyone needs any help with agreed value insurance then please feel free to drop me a line.
Regards,
Dan.
