Understanding the Valuation Process

Base Value & Depreciation

We start with a baseline market value and apply standard yearly depreciation models based on your vehicle's age.

Mileage Adjustments

Vehicles driven far below average retain superior value (+10%), while extreme high mileage (200,000+ km) compounds depreciation.

Regional Differences

Replacement costs vary by province. For example, some regions average 5% higher due to local market demand and taxes.

The Starting Point

This is a benchmark range. Insurers use granular market data. Use our estimate as a solid foundation to understand how your vehicle is valued.
