Market value
What is market value?
Market value is the estimated amount your car would sell for at the time of a claim, taking depreciation, mileage and condition into account. Many insurers pay out at market value if your car is written off.
Example
A three-year-old car insured at market value is paid out at its current resale value, not what you originally paid.
