i.e., could we pay so that our cars are insured for $50,000? Of course our premium would be higher, but if anything ever happened, we be taken care of.

Good question. I'm not sure, but I'd guess no. Insurance would still probably only pay real value.

Default You mean stated value insurance?

We have that on the Porsche. Can be a lot more expensive.

Default I'm no expert, but here goes...

Usually insurance companies look at what you paid for the car, blue book, etc and come up with premiums and the payout.

Stated value allows you to negotiate what the value of the car is and that amount specifies what the max is they will pay. Now, insurance companies can still pay less than the stated value.

Agreed value is the best, but it is rare to find an insurance company who will do it. You agree on a value. Anything happens to the car, that's what they pay.
