Insuring Grey Import on agreed Value Policy - Surrey_Scientist


Up to now I've insured my 1995 Celica GT cnvertible (Grey Import) with Adrian Flux on an agreed value policy (no "no-claims" basis), with a limited mileage as with most classic cars - I was advised this was the best way to insure it in case of a write-off situation to ensure I got the correct value of the car paid out and it wasnt just vaued as "a 13 yr old celica not worth much...."

theyve been taken over by Footman James, and looking at the renewal documents they have sent, it has "no claims" listed on it, but no mention of it being an "agreed value" poicy, suggesting they are offering a differnt type of policy instead.

Havent been ale to get thru yet to clarify it with them.

The renewal policy is also a good bit more expensive than in previous years.

Does anyone know of any other insurers I can try who will insure grey imports possibly on an agreed value basis.

Thx !

I think a number of insurance companies are reviewing their agreed value polices, certainly Sky Insurance (www.skyinsurance.co.uk/) who I am with were last August, I don't know their current policy as I've changed cars.

These may also be worth a try:

Herts Insurance Consultants (HIC) www.hertsinsurance.com/

Firebond www.specialistcars.aon.co.uk/

possibly also

Greenlight Insurance www.greenlightinsurance.com/

Any pointers from an owners club?

Footman James, certainly did classic policies with agreed value in the past. Although had to get someone in owners club to agree to the agreed value.
