The Home-Check offers the possibility to easily, quickly, and affordably determine the current value of a collector vehicle and communicate this value to the insurance company. The owner takes photos of his vehicle according to specific guidelines, determines an overall condition rating based on the classic-analytics checklist, and determines the value of his vehicle, including all factors affecting value, based on researched prices. He receives a valuation certificate as a PDF document, which he can submit to his insurance company with a request to adjust the insurance value, thereby avoiding underinsurance.
The Home-Check costs EUR35.00. You will receive a valuation certificate with the data of your vehicle, photos, and market values currently researched by us. The delivery is made directly as a PDF document.
Yes. The Home-Check has been presented to classic car insurance companies and is accepted for updating the insurance value.

The Professional-Check is a short appraisal that determines the current market value and replacement value of a classic or youngtimer vehicle. This valuation meets insurance requirements and provides a comprehensive overview of the vehicle’s condition and value.
The Professional-Check is conducted by a certified classic-analytics appraiser. The vehicle undergoes a detailed inspection using a 10-point checklist to capture all value-relevant features. The results are documented in a multi-page valuation certificate, which includes photos and a condition rating from 1 to 5.
The valuation includes a vehicle inspection (general, external examination) and documentation of all relevant information, including 12 photos. The final assessment is provided in a PDF certificate recognized by all classic car insurance providers, with a description of the vehicle, condition rating as well as market value and relacement value. Additionally, the Professional-Check includes a free update service for automatic notifications of value changes.
The Professional-Check offers a cost-effective, quick analysis suitable for insurance classification. In contrast, the Expert-Check is a comprehensive valuation with detailed component analyses and testdrive, which is particularly useful for buying or selling decisions.
The Professional-Check is conducted by qualified classic-analytics appraisers who work according to classic-analytics standards, closely collaborate with the classic-analytics headquarters, and access current market data.
The price is set by the individual appraiser on-site and generally starts at EUR180.00. Prices may vary depending on the location and partner, with higher costs potentially arising for highly modified vehicles, racing vehicles, limited-series models, or vehicles with special bodywork (such as trucks, buses, motorhomes, tractors).
The Update-Service automatically informs you by email if the market value of the specific vehicle model rises by more than 10%. This ensures that the insured value remains up-to-date, minimizing the risk of underinsurance. This service is free and non-binding for Professional-Check customers.

No, the Update-Service for classic car prices is only available from classic-analytics.
