What should my sum insured be for and electric vehicle (EV), hybrid or plug-in-hybrid vehicle (PHEV)?

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.

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.
