I don't know how motor insurance works in your country but as an insurance claims executive based in an Asian country, our motor policy dictates that only the insurance company can decide on how best to settle a claim to their policyholder because a motor policy is based on the principle of indemnity which means that you can't make a profit out of it. If the insurance company finds that the cost of repair is close to the market value of your vehicle, then they might consider to treat your vehicle as a total loss because it is not worth the hassle to repair your vehicle. But if the vehicle can be repaired, then no, they will not consider the total loss option. HOWEVER.nothing is actually fix here, there is really no hard and fast rule...as people always say, rules are made by people and people are supposed to be flexible. If you really INSIST that you DO NOT want your vehicle anymore (justification must be good here), you could negotiate a settlement with your insurance company. Afterall, our whole existence depends on customers really and we will listen and try to settle claims to the best of customer's satisfaction. Good Luck.
Hidden meaning behind the drivers license?
Insurance companies will NOT total a vehicle just because you want them to. If you are so worried about driving a vehicle that has been 'violated' then repair it and sell it (or cash-out and sell it 'as-is'), provided you don't have a lein on it. The insurance company doesn't want your car anymore than you do and no amount of crying or posturing will change their minds. The only way it 'totals' is if cost of repairs exceed the value or a set percentage of the actual cash calue (ACV). Your best option is to have it repaired at the best collision repair shop in your area. A quality repairer will bring the vehicle as near to factory/pre-loss condition as possible with no ill effects from the loss.How much is insurance for first time drivers 18 years of age/male?
You can not "make" the insurance company total out your car. If it's repairable, they will either repair it or cash you out on your damages--your call. If it's a total, they'll settle with you for the actual cash value of the vehicle. Unfortunately, without a tear down it's too early to tell what the status of the vehicle is--once torn down, the full extent of the damage will be known & the insurance company and body shop will advise you of the status.Can I claim for damage I did to my car a year ago?
If it's repaired, you can always sell it or trade it in.
