“When my work truck was totaled in Cincinnati, the insurer’s first offer didn’t even cover half of what similar trucks were selling for across Hamilton County. I ordered a SnapClaim total loss appraisal, and their report included clear, data-backed comparisons from the Cincinnati market. The payout was increased significantly, and I was able to replace my truck without disrupting my business.”

Cincinnati Total Loss – Frequently Asked Questions
When is a vehicle considered a total loss in Cincinnati, Ohio?
In Cincinnati, a car is marked as a total loss when repair costs come close to what the vehicle is worth. Ohio doesn't set a strict percentage, so insurers rely on their internal formulas and market data. More details: Total Loss State Laws.
How is the ACV determined for Cincinnati drivers?
Your ACV is calculated using features like mileage, trim level, upgrades, and the local used-car market across Hamilton County. Cincinnati pricing often differs from northern and central Ohio regions. Learn more: Fair Market Value Guide.
What payout can I expect if my car is totaled in Cincinnati?
Your payout depends on the vehicle’s pre-accident market value. A deductible may apply if you file through your own insurance, but not when you're claiming against another driver’s insurer.

Yes. You can choose to retain your vehicle. Your insurance payout will be lowered by the salvage value, and the car will need inspection before returning to the road.
