Frequently asked questions about costs
How are appraisal costs calculated?
Costs depend on vehicle type, damage extent and complexity. A simple valuation is cheaper than a complex court appraisal. We arrange non-binding quotes for advance clarity.
Do I need to pay the appraiser in advance?
Payment terms are agreed directly with the expert. Payment after receipt is common. A deposit may be required for larger assignments.
Does insurance cover my appraisal costs?
In a non-fault accident, the opposing liability insurance covers costs for an independent appraiser. For comprehensive claims, it depends on your policy.
