Does Nationwide insure rebuilt titles?
We’ve decided to add a second car to our policy, and we’ve found one that’s within our budget. However, it’s a salvage car with a rebuilt title. Does Nationwide insure rebuilt titles?

Yes,
Nationwide
does insure cars that have rebuilt titles
, but be aware that some restrictions might affect the coverage and its availability based on where you live. Also, you should know ahead of time that a rebuilt title could seriously impact your car insurance
costs.Rebuilt titles are issued after a vehicle has been declared a total loss by its insurer, and it’s due to extensive damage usually caused by one of the following reasons:
- Accidents or collisions
- Flooding
- Theft and vandalism
- Weather or natural disaster
- Other events leaving the car undrivable
However, some totaled vehicles can be restored to a road-safe, driveable condition. These vehicles might qualify for a rebuilt title, which means it’s legal to drive and insure.
If you purchase a car with a rebuilt title, check in with Nationwide first to see if they can cover your vehicle. Then, do some comparison shopping for
car insurance quotes online
to see if there’s a better deal available to you!View full answer
