Why has my agreed value decreased but my premium increased?

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.

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.
