“After my car was declared a total loss in Palm Bay, the insurance company came back with an offer that didn’t match the true value of similar cars in Brevard County. I reached out to SnapClaim for help, and their appraisal report broke down the local market so clearly that the insurer had no choice but to reconsider. The payout was increased far more than I expected, making it easy for me to get back on the road.”

ACV depends on mileage, trim, upgrades, and condition — plus recent Brevard County market listings. Details: Fair Market Value Guide.
