Default Insurance given rising prices

How do you guys insure your car to cover increasing values in case of damage or theft? I think “normal” car insurance covers depreciated, but not current value correct?

Get a stated value policy through Hagarty or something of the like.

I have Hagerty on my 911T, M2CS which are two modern cars. Our classics are also under Hagerty. I had to raise the agreed values on the cars this year, which raised insurance costs. (which sucks because I don't plan to sell the cars and just raises operating costs).

Having regular insurance on anything that can't be valued accurately by "book value" will always be a huge risk. I lost at least $10K when my Cayman was totaled.

U can fight those assessments... The alternative, given value policies, are crazy expensive so tough to justify. Like $1600 vs $12k? Really tough there.

Who are you getting quotes from? my agreed value on my .2 3RS is under $3k a year and I live in one of the worst states for insurance.

I got a quote late last year for 9,500 for a $350k policy on a Speedster. Seemed exorbitant.
