Understanding Insured Declared Value (IDV)
The Insured’s declared value (IDV) is the maximum amount your insurer will pay you in the event of total loss or theft of your car. The value is based on the manufacturer’s listed selling price and is arrived at by deducting the depreciation of the vehicle.
How it’s Calculated:
IDV = Manufacturer’s listed selling price – Depreciation
( + Accessories Cost of Accessories – Depreciation on accessories, if applicable)
Right IDV will serve you good at the time of claim
