Salvage Title Insurance: Can You Insure a Rebuilt Car?

Yes — but insurance options are limited. Here's what Texas drivers with salvage or rebuilt title vehicles need to know.

Salvage vs Rebuilt Titles

A salvage title is issued when an insurance company declares a vehicle a total loss — meaning the repair cost exceeds the vehicle's value (typically 75-100%). A rebuilt title is issued after a salvage vehicle has been repaired and passes a Texas state inspection verifying it's roadworthy and safe.

You cannot legally drive or insure a vehicle with a salvage title in Texas. The vehicle must first be repaired, inspected, and re-titled as "rebuilt" before it can be registered and insured.

Insurance Options

Most major insurance carriers (State Farm, Allstate, Progressive) are cautious about insuring rebuilt title vehicles because their pre-damage condition is uncertain. However, non-standard and specialty carriers actively insure these vehicles. A-LA Auto Insurance works with 35+ carriers, including specialists that offer coverage for rebuilt titles at competitive rates.
