If I have to make a claim, will the value I enter be the amount you will pay me for my vehicle?
Please note that in the event of a total loss, we will pay the market value of your vehicle immediately before the loss and not the estimated value you have given. If your vehicle is less than 12 months old at the time of the loss, we will replace it with a new vehicle of the same make, model and specification - see the Car Insurance policy for the terms and conditions.
