Arizona vehicle claims: guidance and practical terms

Arizona DIFI says an insurer cannot force a particular repair shop or require unreasonable travel to obtain an estimate. If your selected shop charges significantly more than other independent shops, you may still face a cost difference.

For first-party total losses, DIFI describes either a specific comparable replacement vehicle or a cash settlement to buy a comparable vehicle, including applicable taxes and transfer fees, subject to the deductible. Do not apply that explanation automatically to a claim against another driver.

DIFI can review certain delayed, denied or unpaid insurance claims, but does not decide accident fault or contested facts. Its complaint instructions ask consumers to collect the policy and correspondence and verify all statements before submission.

Choose the service and evidence for your asset

Send unit identification, current location, damage photographs and the requested scope. Supplements need the baseline estimate and evidence for added operations; desk review needs specific questions.

Heavy trucks, trailers, agricultural or construction equipment, ATVs, boats and aircraft require asset-specific scope and fee confirmation. Auto rules do not automatically govern these assets. Estimating is not a safety, seaworthiness or airworthiness certification.

Estimating, policy appraisal and property valuation are distinct

A damage estimate does not appoint an appraisal-clause appraiser, umpire or adjuster. These roles have separate requirements. We do not decide coverage or guarantee payment.

Home and mortgage valuations require separate credentials, lender ordering and any applicable appraisal-management compliance. This page does not confirm an available real estate provider network.
