Can you agree on any value and the insurance just adjusts the premium to match the value? So if you prefer to pay next to no insurance, you agree it's worth $1,000. Or, if you like to gamble, agree on $3,000,000 so you can replace your Taycan with a Nevers should it get totaled.That's interesting for me to hear. In Ireland, most insurance is "agreed value", meaning that every year you and your insurer agree how much the car is worth for that insurance period. If the car is written off then the agreed value is paid out with little to no discussion.
It means that you don't play the "current market price" game. It probably helps that new car's aren't sold over their MRP – so generally for the first 4 or 5 years of a car's life – insurers are happy to set the agreed value at the retail price of your current model.
Sounds very different to the US. Ironically, my Taycan is insured by a US-based insurer: CHUBB.
