But I just ran a quote on full comp and the premium has dropped heaps, an extra $20 a month will give me full comp, and the agreed value has actually gone up silghtly.

But I want some assurance that a little prang isn't going to get the car written off and me not being able to legally drive it. I love this car



Yes.
If you have a 'little' crash that's your fault there's no law that says the insurance company has to be involved.

If the same 'little' crash is someone else's fault you claim through their insurance company, if you don't like their answer (ie: write off) withdraw the claim and carry on.
