Loan company gets paid first if you owe more then the insurancwe pays you owe the balance, if insurance pays more then loan you get the differance.
In some cases you can buy your car back from the insurance company or from the scrapyard if the vehicle is totaled. You will need to check your insurance policy to see what type of stance they take on this purchase.
If you want to keep a totaled car, the insurance company will determine the salvage value and deduct that from your settlement check. You can still get liability insurance (if there are no safety issues related to the damage), but not collision or comprehensive unless you have the repairs made.
Whomever the car is titled to. You will have to sign the title over to the insurance company since they essentially bought the wrecked car from you.
You should check with your insurance company. If you still have a policy open for the car the premium is still due. But I'm not sure why you'd have a policy if the insurance company said the car was totalled
The titled owner
You need to file a claim with your auto insurance carrier. The insurance adjuster will physically examine the vehicle's damage. If the estimated cost to repair all damages exceeds the total value of the car, then the insurance company will total the car. This means they will write you (or the lender) a check for the total value of the car before damages.Most of the above is true but a car is considered totaled when the repair costs exceed 50-75% (depending on the state you live in) of its actual cash value. If it is totaled you will sign the title over to the insurance company and they will take ownership of the car after they pay you.
No. They will give you the money for the value of the vehicle and then you are on your own. However, check with your state's Department of Insurance. You might have recourse against the insurance company if you are unable to find a comparable vehicle with the amount they gave you.
no
Sure you can, but you're still responsible for paying off the loan to the finance company. If the check will cover the pay-off, give it to the finance company. If it doesn't, give it to them, anyway. It'll reduce your debt by that much.
It depends on the policy you have from your insurance company. You will need to check with them
If you have comprehensive and collision the insurance company covers your car for loss. Unfortunately, most people don't have comp & collision after the car is paid off. If the bank still has an interest in the car, they will make demand of the insurance company and the BANK will be paid first. After that, if any money is left over you might get a check.
Presumably because the other driver's insurance doesn't cover that expense. Check into your own insurance policy to see if maybe your own insurance does.
