in addition to what dave said ;

some insurance companies can provide you a list of local appraisers that they use ---if not , try local car club sources for any classic car type or stop by a high end auto body shop to see who they might know of . some other thoughts anyway .

as Dave said : my insurance company did not require an appraisal either for 3 of my cars--they did require high quality photos of both sides, front , rear, inside and engine bay - as well as a brief description of the cars . I requested an agreed value insurance amount that I was comfortable with and on two cars they suggested I go higher and on the 3rd car they told me i was at their max . I have raised the values on 2 of the cars each year for past 3 yrs with no issues by them ....go as high as you can (or they allow for your car) as the step up cost is a fraction of a replacement vehicle cost difference in most cases.
