Your vehicle's actual cash value is what your car is worth on the open market before the accident.

Condition, equipment and mileage are taken into consideration.

The insurance company will assign an appraiser to inspect the vehicle to determine its condition prior to the accident, or in some instances allow the repairer to make the determination.
