Not insurance rates or quotes.
A standard auto policy settles a total loss at actual cash value — depreciated book value — which can pay a small fraction of what a collector car is worth. Specialty classic policies for Daly City collectors use agreed value instead, with pricing built around how collectors actually use their cars.
