CARFAX Enhances Total Loss Valuation Report with Automated Calculation of Taxes and Fees
CENTREVILLE, Va., April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CARFAX, a leader in vehicle history and valuation, announced today the enhancement of its Total Loss Valuation Report to include automated calculation of taxes and fees. This enhancement is made possible through a partnership with Claim Toolkit, offering claims professionals the ability to more efficiently and accurately incorporate taxes and fees into final settlement amounts.
Since its launch in 2020, CARFAX's Total Loss Valuation Report has been extensively adopted by insurance companies across the United States, providing more accurate valuations for total loss claims and helping reduce cycle time.
"Claims professionals shared that automatically incorporating taxes and fees information into the CARFAX Total Loss Valuation Report would make the report more comprehensive and user-friendly," said Tom Scheffer, Director of Insurance Claims at CARFAX. "We're happy to provide this enhancement, helping our customers further streamline their total loss valuation process."
The CARFAX Total Loss Valuation Report is a valuable resource for total loss adjusters, enabling them to determine a vehicle's unique pre-accident value using CARFAX's VIN-specific History-Based Value. This value is derived from millions of used car listings and takes into account each vehicle's unique trim and options, mileage, condition, location, and hundreds of other attributes from CARFAX's vast vehicle history database. The CARFAX Total Loss Valuation Report is currently available for use in 48 states and the District of Columbia.
