Insurance Agreed Valuations (1 Viewer)

Just been checking our pvc insurance, ours is 3.5yrs old. One dealer said, as a rule of thumb 3-4 yr old vans are worth about the same as they were new. Another said add another 5k onto ours. Extras make little difference.

I was with Comfort last time, at renewal I asked them to increase the value from 45k to 55k as prices have gone up but they said in that case you have to have a tracker so I said I don't want a tracker so just insure me for 45k again but then refused to insure me at all !

Many thanks.

Caravan Guard threshold for tracker requirement is £50k

Mine is insured for 74½k with Comfort without a tracker.

When I renewed with Comfort I decided to declare 70k value instead of £75k last year to get rid of the requirement for a tracker. They said it may cost me more! They pointed out that the reduction of value would not affect the premium, but now I have not got a tracker it would go up more. I checked and realised that I had renewed my subscription for the Tracker for another 3 years, so I am stuck with it until 2024. In that case I kept it all the same and will change it when my subscription runs out. .

I think it's fair to say that, whilst our brokers are reasonable people with which to deal, their masters are not.
"Loss adjuster, GAP cover" etc.
Who might we wonder invented Health & Safety and why?
Food for thought from an increasingly cynical man.

That was the advice yesterday, its changed today but I’m not entirely sure what it is now, all a bit confusing! However, they’ve increased my sum insured to £52k with a non-approved tracker and approved steering lock.

They are only usually used for rare or unique vehicles,

It is used all the time in the VW scene especially when people convert their own vans.

Often my vehicles have trackers, I didn't bother on the two that had been stollen, the increased cost on insurances overall has been a huge impact, had I had Trackers and the B'tards been tracked and the vehicles recovered I would not have the huge increase in insurance I have faced. Lesson learnt a Tracker is just another piece of
