IDV (Insured Declared Value) is the maximum amount the insurance company will pay for your car in case of total loss or theft. It is usually less than the market value of your car.

Deductible is the amount you agree to pay towards repairs before the insurance company covers the rest. Choosing a higher deductible can lower your premium, but you'll need to pay more out of pocket if you file a claim.
