Alternatively, you can even get a online quote with NRMA and often you'll find that it's even chaper that your renewal notice. Then get them to price match that quote.

Every year or second year I just hop between GIO and NRMA because they both do the same thing.

As for the market value thing, I usually go with an agreed value. It's possible to even insure my car at an agreed value for what I bought it 3 years ago, $88k. It only adds an extra $100 or so to the premium to insure it for that as opposed to the market value of ~$50-60k.
You know agreed value doesn't necessarily mean 'payout' value? I know plenty of people who have 'agreed' at $xx,000 and get paid out at $xx,000-$y,000
