Introduction
Insured Declared Value plays a crucial role in determining the claim compensation under a comprehensive car insurance policy if a vehicle is stolen or declared a total loss. At the same time, it also influences the car insurance premium you pay.
What is IDV in Insurance?
IDV or Insurance Declared Value is the maximum value the car insurance company will pay in case your vehicle gets stolen or is declared a total loss. The amount is the car's current market value, excluding registration and insurance costs.
What is IDV in Car Insurance, and What Does it Represent?
The insured declared value is only applicable in a comprehensive insurance policy, and not on third-party car insurance. When you buy car insurance online , it is important to take the IDV into consideration and use the IDV calculator to help estimate this value. The IDV directly affects both the claim limit and the car insurance premium.
How Insurer-Allowed IDV Range Can Still Lead to Underinsurance?
When you buy or renew car insurance online, insurers will provide you with an IDV range for the fixed value. This range is calculated based on ex-showroom price, depreciation schedule, vehicle's age, and internal underwriting guidelines. While the flexibility appears beneficial, choosing the lowest value within the permitted range also increases the risk of being underinsured.
