The limit of liability and rate are based upon a Dump Truck’s Stated Amount (not cost new). The Stated Amount on a Dump Trucks Insurance.com policy should reflect a Dump Truck’s current retail value including any special or permanently attached equipment. Using Stated Amount provides a superior value by allowing our insureds to customize their policy to accurately capture a Dump Truck’s true value. The easiest way to establish a Stated Amount is to consult a book 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 Dump Truck upgrades, engine or major component rebuilds that could further increase a Dump Truck’s value. Possible resources include: • Valuation Publications & Internet Sites - Truck Blue Book, truckpaper.com, trucks.com and pricedigests.com • Dealerships - What is the current retail value of the Dump Truck? • Manufacturers - What is the special or permanently attached equipment worth? • Lending/Financial Institutions - What is the current Blue Book value of the Dump Truck? • Market-Value Software - N.A.D.A. (possible fee involved for the software) A Stated Amount must be maintained to remain accurate. Dump Trucks Insurance.com encourage you to regularly review the values of any insured vehicles and modify Stated Amounts accordingly. Unlike personal auto, the commercial auto market is very dynamic. Dump Trucks Insurance.com does not automatically depreciate Stated Amount. 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. |
