So, it's that time of year when my insurance goes up. I'm with Outsurance, and currently my car is insured for Retail value. Should I consider reducing that to market value? It's a just-over-3-years-old Picanto, with fairly low mileage.

And (I've forgotten what I had to tell them when I took out the insurance) do I have to actually specify a retail or market value, or do they figure that out based on the make and model? If I have to specify a value, how do I figure out what value to give them?

I don't want to be underinsured, but I don't want to be paying a lot only to find out that they won't actually pay out what my car's worth if it becomes necessary to claim.
 
They will only pay you what they deem the vehicle is worth, regardless of retail / market value. Ask them to adjust according to their estimates.
