When renewing your car insurance , you should reassess the IDV. The IDV value calculator should be your go-to tool during renewals to ensure your policy accurately reflects the car’s current market value. It is essential if you plan on selling your vehicle.
How Often Should You Recalculate Your Car's IDV Before Renewal?
You should recalculate your car's IDV at every policy renewal, since it is fixed for the entire policy year and never adjusts mid-term. Running an IDV calculator for your car once a year keeps your sum insured aligned with your vehicle's actual depreciated value, so you neither overpay on premium nor end up under-covered at the claim time. Recalculate outside the usual renewal cycle too, because this lets you have a clear idea of the added accessories, switch insurers, or if your vehicle's registered value changes.
