Best Answer

According to most auto insurance policies, the company will repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of the vehicle insurance if you have the appropriate coverage. If the vehicle is deemed a total loss, which means that the cost to repair is close or over the actual cash value of the vehicle, the company will pay the value of the vehicle to your finance company or bank if it is financed, and will pay you any amount over the amount owed to the bank or finance company, if it is financed. At this point you have in effect, sold them the vehicle so they will take what is left of the car.
