How this estimate works

Formula usedIDV = listed vehicle price after applicable age depreciation + insured accessories after depreciation

The age schedule is an estimate for vehicles up to five years. For older or obsolete models, IDV is generally determined by agreement between insurer and insured. IDV is not a resale-price guarantee.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Does choosing a lower IDV only reduce the premium? +

A lower IDV may reduce premium but can also reduce the amount considered for total-loss or constructive-total-loss settlement. Compare cover, deductible and IDV together.

Which policy documents should I check? +

Use the policy schedule, Customer Information Sheet, benefit illustration and insurer quotation. Enter the exact cover, premium, factor, sub-limit or charge shown for your policy.

Does this replace an insurer quotation or professional advice? +

No. It is a planning estimate. Underwriting, medical history, exclusions, waiting periods, tax treatment and product-specific terms can change the final premium, benefit or claim.
