WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPECIALTY AND EVERYDAY INSURANCE?
Specialty and everyday insurance policies differ greatly when it comes to vehicle value and compensation in the event of a loss. There are three ways auto insurance companies pay out claims:
Actual Cash Value: Most everyday insurers offer actual cash value policies. This is what an insurance adjuster says a car is worth, usually based on used car values – not the classic car market. So if a collector car is stolen or declared a total loss after an accident, it’s unlikely you’ll be compensated for its true value.
Stated Value: Many everyday insurers offer stated value policies for collector cars, allowing clients to set their own values. But here’s the problem: the insurer only has to pay up to the stated value, and in fact is allowed to pay the lesser of the stated value or the actual cash value, less any deductible.
Agreed Value or Guaranteed Value® Most specialty insurers offer agreed value or Guaranteed Value®, which means you and the insurance company agree on a value for your car. If there’s a covered total loss, you’ll receive that full value, less any deductible.* The best companies don’t require appraisals, and rely on their expertise and your opinion to determine an accurate value for a vehicle.
