At renewal, RACV Insurance considers the changes in your vehicles agreed value using local market values. Check your renewal notice for any changes.

Market value

You can only choose between agreed value and market value if you purchase a Comprehensive Car Insurance policy.

Third Party Property Damage covers you for unintentional damage you cause to another person’s vehicle or property.

Third Party Fire and Theft not only covers you for unintentional damage you cause to another person’s vehicle or property, it also provides financial protection if:

  • your car is damaged by a fire

Third Party Fire and Theft is covered to a maximum market value of $10,000.
