Appraisal before auto insurance company will insure

American National Insurance is saving me half off on my auto quote compared to my current provider. However, they said I need to get an appraisal on my AM before they can insure it. Anyone know where to go and how much it costs? Is this normal?

relatively normal for classic insurance at least - as they need to verify condition and value by a trained eye. the odd part is the companies typically have an appraiser in your area to suggest.
i'm curious how they will qualify your guy - simple certifications, i assume.

I ended up hiring Steve Linden, who has been doing this for 30 years. Seems like a great guy.

Most auto appraisers I called wanted $300-$400.

Steve charges $150.

I am insuring DD and my AM. They saved me 50% from Mercury. They also saved me 56% on home. Grundy came in at 1.5x more than American National.
