🚗 SPECIALTY VEHICLE OWNERS: AGREED VALUE vs. ACTUAL CASH VALUE
Do you know how your vehicle would be valued if it were totaled?
For classic, collector, antique, and other specialty vehicles, the difference between Agreed Value and Actual Cash Value (ACV) can be significant.
🔹 AGREED VALUE
You and the insurance company agree on the vehicle’s value when the policy is written. If the vehicle has a covered total loss, the agreed value is generally used to determine the settlement, subject to the policy’s terms and conditions.
🔹 ACTUAL CASH VALUE (ACV)
The vehicle is generally valued based on its market value immediately before the loss, taking factors such as age, condition, mileage, and depreciation into consideration.
💡 Why does this matter?
A specialty vehicle may have a value that doesn’t fit the traditional depreciation model of a standard automobile. Restoration work, rarity, originality, modifications, and collector demand can all affect its value.
If you own a classic, collector, antique, or specialty vehicle, don’t assume your standard auto policy will value it the way you expect.
