michael Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 The book price may be that these days but the market value certainly isn't - ask them to find you an example of a decent one for sale for £3k, if they do please PM me and I'll buy it. Or just call a proper insurance company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvershark44 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Obviously try sky, they do agreed valuations. Premiums can be quite high for some though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an authorised broker for Sabre and they do not do agreed value policies as far as I know. Just becuase they have written £10K next to your vehicle discription it does not mean they will pay that much in the event of a total loss claim. If you are unsure then ring them up and ask them what they would offer you in the event of a claim. Jae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go4longer Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 do you know how much it costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go4longer Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 spoke to sky and even they say that in the event of a total loss they would only pay out the current market price of the car unless you have it valued properly and got certification papers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 spoke to sky and even they say that in the event of a total loss they would only pay out the current market price of the car unless you have it valued properly and got certification papers A lot of us have agreed valuation with sky and didnt need certification papers. Clarification on this would be good Jae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 spoke to sky and even they say that in the event of a total loss they would only pay out the current market price of the car unless you have it valued properly and got certification papers If that's true it's got to be a new thing.... all I had to do with mine is fill in a form and send in some pics.

Jae I agree with this, I am a sabre broker as well and they do only ever pay book value from the policies I have ever used. At the end of the day, an advisor should not be determining the value of your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an agreed value policies through us it will be on your policy schedule. You should also have a letter from us confirming that the valuation application has been received and the value has been agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, an advisor should not be determining the value of your car. Yikes!....I have been completely miss-informed then on my policy......on some of my previous cars I have paid more on my insurance policy to have an agreed valuation figure on the vehicle, for this I had to send in photos/receipts showing proof of work/condition. I once had a mk1 golf gti which I spent over 10k on and it was insured for an agreed value of about 6k it cost me about £36 more a year but if anything did happen they would pay up to the agreed value. When I took out my policy for the supra (through a broker who used sabre), I asked about valuation policy's, I was then asked how much I wanted to insure the car for and was also told it effected the price of the policy dependant on how much u wanted to insure the vehicle for? At the time I said 10k they ran the quote through on that figure?.......on the sec page of my policy in writing it states the value is for 10k? I rang my broker up today and they said that's correct? But if your telling me that sabre will not pay out that amount then I need to get it sorted, if my broker has agreed the value will it make them responsible u think? It does my sweed in, you try and do things properly and its just a waste of time these days. It really pisses me off, insurance is just legal fraud!
