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.
Is a Higher IDV Always Beneficial?
In motor insurance, Insured Declared Value represents the current market value of your vehicle. IDV determines the maximum compensation an insurer may pay you in case your car is stolen or declared a total loss. A higher IDV increases the potential claim amount and the car insurance premium you will have to pay. Also, insurance providers typically settle claims based on the actual market value of the car. So, setting an unrealistically high IDV is not a great idea as it does not guarantee additional benefits. The ideal way to select an IDV is to reflect the vehicle’s realistic, depreciation-adjusted value closely.
What to Choose Between High or Low IDV?
If it's your first time buying or renewing car insurance online, it's common to be confused about how to choose IDV. Well, choosing the high and low IDV will have specific trade-offs. While a higher IDV provides a better claim payout in the event of theft, it also comes with higher premium payments.
