Thread: Insurance

    Default Insurance

    Insurance I know this has been discussed before. However I had 4 cars on Admiral Multicar policy.. yes I had seen the adds on the tele....and the NSX was with Hagerty which has been for 4 years. Insurance time with Admiral recieved the renewal quote and jumped up £702 .97. Was informed that is the market place ..... Shopped around and with 4 individual car policy's with Be Wiser saved nearly a thousand pounds . £288 from the last year quote and £702.97 from the increase this year. NSX is due now and Hagerty sent me the renewal and to be fair suggested that I increased the Agreed Value. The cost from them was £475.68 with restricted mileage of 2,000. Phoned Classic Line with restricted 3,000 anual mileage and the same benefits as Hagerty was quoted £270.24. I have sent an email asking them to check if that is correct. That is a saving of £200. Is it too good to be true. I have a couple of weeks to shop around. Most important for me is agreed value which a lot of companies don't offer

    I'm with Classic Line and think I paid ~£300, that includes euro breakdown cover too. Mine is restricted mileage of around 3k. Underwriter is Red Star from memory.
    For the approved value you have to submit 6 recent photos including instrument cluster showing mileage and pay £20 'processing fee'.

    I switched to Classic Line too a month ago. Excellent. Immediate agreed value and 5,000 miles per annum for £300 and it includes breakdown cover. Hagertry would not even give me a quote and another supposedly specialist firm mentioned on the forum quoted £750.

    Got a renewal at £310 from the "Ohh Yes" dog this month. Called around and found £165 for 6000m (1000m more than previously and including business use).

    IMHO, it's a bit daft to get agreed value insurance when the price of NSXs is appreciating. To quote one: "agreed value is an insurance contract under which the insurer agrees to pay the insured a stated amount in the event of the total loss of the property insured without any adjustment for depreciation or appreciation".

    I asked my insurer about agreed value and they said any appreciation wouldn't be covered in the event of loss. They said that a normal policy with market value also wouldn't cover the appreciation as the premium you are paying is based on the market value at the time the policy is taken out.

    They said the only way to be covered on an appreciating vehicle is to have agreed value and update that value every few months/year.

    if anyone knows differently I'd be interested to hear. I'm with Classicline too btw.

    It is cheap, but limited to 6km. Ideal for a garage queen which needs a yearly MOT.
    I just renewed mine. About £400 for 3k miles, parked outside my house (although has been garaged since last summer).

    I thought that was the entire point of "agreed value". You agree a value with the insurance company and that is what is paid out in the event of a total loss. Obviously, this can be updated as required and agreed by both parties recognising that the premium will rise accordingly.

    Yea, I was commenting more in response to goldtop saying agreed value policy is a bit daft. It's as useless as a normal policy for an appreciating car, only you know you won't be stung on the downside with a made up market value. It's all much easier when your cars are going down in price
