At what ratio between auto value and the repair estimate do insurance company total out a vehicle?

[Edit]

Total Loss Ratio

Usually if the repair bill meets or exceeds 70% of the cars book value, the insurance company will usually opt to total the car and pay it off. If your car is worth $10,000 and the bill is $7,000, you'll probably get the $10,000 minus any applicable deductibles and other fees.
