This payout is usually in the amount of the vehicle\u2019s actual cash value, minus the policy holder\u2019s insurance deductible if making a claim within your own policy. In return, the person must turn over the vehicle and the car title to the insurance company, as they now own the totaled car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2611 <strong>Have it Repaired<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose to have your totaled vehicle repaired, so long as it is not too badly damaged. You see, a car might be totaled because one part that is needed costs more than what the car is worth. In the case that you can repaired your car back to a safe and driveable state, you can pass up on other repairs that are mostly cosmetic or not emergency-based, such as fenders and bumpers. Under most insurance policies, policy holders are allowed to keep their car to have it repaired, but the insurance company will deduct the salvage value plus any deductible from the payout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2611 <strong>Do Not Repair It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also choose to NOT make a claim and keep your totaled vehicle without repairing it, but still driving it around. This can happen in terms of major cosmetic damage. Let\u2019s say your car is totaled because it was badly damaged in a hailstorm; in this case, your car might be totaled because the cost to repair the hail damage exceeds the current value of the vehicle, but the car still drives just fine, so you may just decide to forgo repairs. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2611 <strong>Sell to an Auto Salvage Yard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your car was not insured, you can still sell it for its scrap parts, or as a whole, to any local auto salvage business. They will pay you the scrap value of your totaled car, minus any fees they charge for junk car removal and more.
