You should also be very careful about whom you sell your vehicle to. Usually, after a natural disaster, there will be a large number of ‘opportunistic’ buyers who will try to acquire affected vehicles for little money and then later try to pass them off as ‘clean’ units. We recommend only selling to licensed dealers and dismantlers who understand the important intricacies and legal requirements of hurricane and flood vehicles.

If your vehicle was totaled in a hurricane, fire, or by collision damage, and an insurance claim was paid to you but you’re still in possession of the vehicle (this is commonly referred to as an ‘owner retained’ unit), you are likely to receive a salvage title on your vehicle.
