Tow Trucks Insurance.com allow an Unlimited Radius on Physical Damage Only policies. The limit of liability and rate are based upon a Tow Trucks Stated Amount (not cost new). Using Stated Amount provides a superior value by allowing our insureds to customize their policy to accurately capture a Tow Trucks true value. The easiest way to establish a Stated Amount is to consult a book or other publication. Other possibilities include consulting with a dealer/manufacturer or checking Internet sites. When determining Stated Amount, remember to take condition, mileage and location into consideration. Also consider any Tow Truck upgrades, engine or major component rebuilds that could further increase a Tow Trucks value. Possible resources include: Valuation Publications & Internet Sites - Truck Blue Book, truckpaper.com, tradeonline.com Dealerships - What is the current retail value of the Tow Truck? Manufacturers - What is the special or permanently attached equipment worth? Lending/Financial Institutions - What is the current Blue Book value of the Tow Truck? Market-Value Software - N.A.D.A. (possible fee involved for the software) A Stated Amount must be maintained to remain accurate. Each time a policy term renews, you should review the values of all insured vehicles and modify stated amounts as needed to ensure they remain accurate. Rules for Stated Amount: A minimum value of $5,000 will apply for rating purposes. (This minimum does not apply to trailers.) Passenger autos, pickups, vans, utility vehicles or trailers valued over $125,000 must be submitted for approval. Trucks, buses or motor homes valued over $200,000 must be submitted for approval. The customer is responsible for determining the appropriate amount of coverage. In the event of a loss, our policy pays the least of the stated amount, actual cash value, or cost to repair or replace.
