Yes, Progressive covers formerly salvage-titled vehicles. If the car was rebuilt and inspected after being salvaged, Progressive offers full coverage on specific vehicle models, a liability-only policy, or a policy that includes both liabilty and comprehensive insurance if the vehicle is not eligible for full coverage.. You cannot get coverage from any reputable insurer for a car currently holding a salvage title, however, as such vehicles are illegal to drive.
A car is given a salvage title when an insurance company declares it a total loss, meaning that it is unable to be repaired or the cost of repairs exceeds the vehicle%s value.
