How Toogle calculates ACV in Kentucky
In Kentucky, Toogle runs every total-loss valuation through CCC ONE Market Valuation. The system pulls roughly 7 "comparable" listings within a 65-mile radius of your ZIP code, then applies a base value before stacking deductions. For Kentucky claims, Toogle adjusters tend to subtract $600–$1,300 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 Kentucky private-party market. Insurers must include the 6% Motor Vehicle Usage Tax and title fees in the settlement, but Toogle's first offer in Kentucky 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 Kentucky drivers consistently recover thousands once an independent appraiser re-runs the numbers.
Kentucky case study: +$4,080 on a 2022 Toyota RAV4
A metro Kentucky client came to us after Toogle offered $18,250 on a 2022 Toyota RAV4 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 Kentucky-specific dealer asking prices, corrected the mileage adjustment, and added the omitted options. Toogle revised the offer to $22,330 — a $4,080 increase — within 11 days, without invoking the appraisal clause. Representative example; outcomes vary by VIN, condition, and policy language in Kentucky.
