Explanations of insurance terms used on this site.
Agreed Value
Agreed Value means the dollar value of your car, caravan or motorhome, inclusive of all accessories and equipment as agreed to by us and shown on your certificate.
Most cars depreciate with age and use. Therefore the agreed value we offer each time your policy becomes due for renewal will almost always be lower than the previous year's value. Your agreed value is set at the beginning of each period of insurance.
Comprehensive
Comprehensive cover is available for your car insurance, caravan insurance or motorhome insurance.
Free Legal and Tax Advice - over the phone
