What Does Actual Cash Value Mean?

• Actual cash value of a car is the amount that is
  provided by the auto insurance company after it
  is stolen or totaled in an accident. If your car
  is physically damaged and considered a total
  damage, and your auto insurance company pays for
  the claim, the payment you get is likely based on
  the (ACV) of your car instead of its replacement
  value. An insurer calculate usage, past
  accidents, and general wear and tear to a
  vehicle, therefore, ACV of a car comes up with
  maybe hundreds, or even thousands of dollars less
  than an individual paid for his/her car. Even if
  a person is a meticulous owner who has taken good
  care of his/her vehicle, depreciation will be
  taken .

Can the insured avoid depreciation?

• Even after knowing the term ACV, if your car is
  totaled in an accident, you probably would not
  want depreciation deducted from the claim
  payment. To escape the problems that depreciation
  can cause, some insurance companies provide a
  replacement cost coverage endorsement to the
  policy. The endorsement allows certain car claims
  to be paid without deducting depreciation. But,
  adding the replacement cost coverage plan to the
  car insurance policy, the premiums become much
  huge than that of the ACV coverage policy of the
  vehicle.
