How Toogle calculates ACV in Idaho
In Idaho, Toogle runs every total-loss valuation through CCC ONE Market Valuation. The system pulls roughly 10 "comparable" listings within a 50-mile radius of your ZIP code, then applies a base value before stacking deductions. For Idaho claims, Toogle adjusters tend to subtract $900–$1,600 as a "condition adjustment" based on photos rather than an in-person inspection, and they almost always omit factory option packages (navigation, premium audio, tow package, advanced safety) that boost ACV in the Idaho private-party market. Insurers must include Idaho sales tax and title fees in the settlement, but Toogle's first offer in Idaho frequently leaves that line item blank until you push back. The comp radius, the condition deduction, and the option-package omission are the three places where Idaho drivers consistently recover thousands once an independent appraiser re-runs the numbers.
Idaho case study: +$3,000 on a 2018 Subaru Outback
A metro Idaho client came to us after Toogle offered $16,000 on a 2018 Subaru Outback totaled in a rear-end collision. The CCC ONE Market Valuation report pulled comps from outside the local market and missed two factory option packages. We rebuilt the valuation using Idaho-specific dealer asking prices, corrected the mileage adjustment, and added the omitted options. Toogle revised the offer to $19,000 — a $3,000 increase — within 14 days, without invoking the appraisal clause. Representative example; outcomes vary by VIN, condition, and policy language in Idaho.
