Say what you like, it really makes no difference to your premiums. It also doesn't affect what they pay you if it's written off as it will be assessed by a loss adjuster at the time.

Like Slugsie mentioned, I don't think it makes a jot of difference what you tell them.

i told my insurance co mine was worth 4 grand (in reality its worth about 600 quid),but they are charging me more for having a winch fitted tomorrow.......another £3 quid

It's just for the 'weigh in' value when its scrap.

Hi Paul i beg to differ i have just renewed my Traders Policy and and i dropped my "INDEMNITY" from £12,500 down to £7,500 and saved £310. I asked them if anything happen to my Landcruiser would they pay me the £12,500 i originally had it insured for and they said no (bearing in mind i have had the Landcruiser 11 years).

And yes put my name down for the BBQ.

That must be something to do with the fact it's a traders policy.

You can use any of the on-line insurance quote tools to check, just get two different quotes, with the only difference being the value of the vehicle (keep them within sensible bounds). When I've checked in the past it hasn't made any difference.

My policy always says 'Current market value' when I renew, which is a bit worrying considering what I originally paid and the todays current value.

Maket Vaue is usually the Norm for Insurance Companies as already stated.
Dealers Prices have come down due to some Scare mongering on car tax.
That SURF will give you many years of good service & as you know i would buy her back tommorrow if i could.

[John h]

You can't have her back.......she's mine all mine

I went to A-plan when I had Hippo

They should be able to get the vehicle detials off the DVLA if you give them registration number. Although this may not work some insurance companies. Was with Norwich Union a couple of years back, and got into a lengthy discussion with the man in bombay call centre as to what a surf was. I even offered to send him a picture to help him. (he didn't see the funny side)

[Karma Supra]

[John h]

Tried the number plate job but to no avail
