What does market value mean?

The agreed value is only a one aspect of your policy's premium. As your car ages, the value may decrease but the parts can become more difficult to source in the event of a claim.

There are also other pricing factors that will affect your premium. For more information, please refer to the Premium, Excess & Discount Guide on our policy booklets page.

Your sum insured represents the replacement price of your car, including the value of any legal modifications and on-road costs (like registration and CTP Insurance). You can choose agreed value or market value to insure your car.

If your car is covered for an agreed value, your sum insured can be found on your Certificate of Insurance under the policy summary area. You can also log in to your account.

Agreed value is an amount of cover that you choose for your car (from a range we give you). The agreed value includes:

• Any modifications, options or accessories that are attached to your vehicle
• GST
• Registration and any CTP Insurance
• Other on-road costs.

When making any decisions about your policy, you should read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) on our policy booklets page.

We offer market value policies for cars that have pre-existing hail damage providing that they're in registrable condition.

We're only able to give you a guide as we're not licensed valuers. If you're unsure of the value of your home you can seek professional guidance from a licensed quantity surveyor or builder.

If you’ve chosen an Agreed Value policy, this value is the amount we agree to insure your vehicle for that is shown on your Certificate of Insurance. If you’ve chosen a Market Value policy, then we assess the value of your vehicle immediately prior to the incident you are claiming for (or at the time of any claim under the 'Lifetime repair guarantee' additional benefit), using local market prices and considering your vehicle’s age and condition. Both agreed and market values include any modifications, options or accessories to your vehicle, along with GST, registration and any compulsory third party insurance and other on-road costs.

Market value means the value of your car just before an incident (like if your car's stolen or damaged in a fire). It's the maximum amount we'll pay when you make a claim (if you have a market value policy).

We work out the market value when you make a claim. We use things like local market prices, your car's age, its condition, and any modifications or accessories.

This is different to agreed value, which is where you choose the amount to insure your car for (from a range we give you).
