Don't lose value after an accident
Traditional auto insurance doesn’t cover the loss in resale value of your vehicle after an accident.
After a significant accident, your vehicle suffers diminished value or what is also referred to as accelerated depreciation. This is the difference in resale value of your vehicle versus an identical vehicle without an accident.
This loss is not covered under traditional auto insurance. Some have had success suing the insurer of the at fault party, but this requires paying a lawyer and is not always successful, let alone worth the cost. If you are at fault the likelihood of recovering diminished value is next to none.
If insured repair costs of your vehicle exceed 25% of the current value, Drivesure will pay you a cash settlement equal to 10% of the current value of your vehicle. Coverage applies regardless of if you are at fault or not at fault for the loss.
