with "agreed value" - please understand its not saying "I want it for x amount" and then they agree to it, etc

does not work that way.

agreed value means they agree to the value of vehicle for the 12 month policy and if there is a total loss, whether 2 months, 9 months 11 months and 3 days - that company will pay out that value they agreed with from start day.

others will only pay you market value, which could be 5k less at time of loss, or 15k!

Thats what agreed value is.

hahaha ok than note taken!

i think they are a fairly small company, when i submitted my online quote, i got a call from this guy that does the quotes and he said he wont give me a written quote for the insurance cover, he just wants me to pay the $1360 with my credit card over the phone, send cheque out or direct deposit into their bank acct,

seems kinda dodgee, and he said hes the only person that does the quotes for the company, when he was doing my quote he asked me how much JustCars has quoted me, i told him its around $1600 and a few seconds later he gives me the figure above, seems like he just took a few hundred off the justcars quote

Famous have been around for years. I understand they are underwritten by Calliden, as are Dawes and Ryno. Calliden are really getting into the enthusiast sector of the car insurance market and are going leaps and bounds apparently.
