Only if the insurance company believes it was your mom driving at the time.
Normally yes. Some companies may require proof that you have repaired the car and it is road-worthy.
Not in Canada.
In most cases, you can get it fixed yourself. When the insurance company totals out a car, that is all they themselves are willing to pay. If you want to pay to have it fixed yourself, most won't care, but your rates may still change depending on the circumstances of the accident.
insurance stays with the car......if collision coverage on the vehicle it would pay......
After they give you a check for the value of the car (less your deductible), it is their car. If you want to keep it and repair it yourself, you can buy it back for the "residual value". You can negotiate this value with the adjustor. One caution: If you keep the car you may also have to pay some storage charges to the repair shop that is holding it, especially if you do not have them make the repairs.
Totaled means that the cost to repair it is more than what its worth...they will most likely give you something below KBB ...
Yes, you can usually but it back because it is then between you and the insurance company. But keep in mind your insurance company normally pays the ACV (Actual Cash Value) which may not be what you actually owe on the vehicle unless you carry Gap insurance. Gap Insurance is an additional coverage that covers the balance of the loan between the ACV and remaining Balance.
It is different from regular insurance because it covers you for the difference between your car's value, and what you owe on it if you have an accident that totals the car, or the vehicle is stolen. If you are making payments on the vehicle, and you owe more than its value, your GAP insurance will cover the difference.
Yes ing insurance is reliable for car insurance. If you ask ing they will let you know all about the insurance and keep you covered.
most of the time, if an insurance company "totals" your equipment, it will pay it off or pay you and then sell it to a junk yard for as much as they can get for it. However, you do have the option to buy your bike at the same price the salvage yard would pay.
Keep making payments on a car you don't have and learn your lesson about not letting your insurance lapse.
