Insurance companies have different standards on writing off cars. Most insurers will value the damaged Vehicle and add the cost of repairs to this. If the total is more than the sum insured, than they will declare the vehicle a write off.
Normally the excess is paid to the repairer on completion of repairs to the vehicle. The repaired vehicle is not released until the full excess has been paid to either the repairer or the insurance company. In some instances the insurance company may ask for payment over the phone by credit card when making the claim.

This will depend on the insurance company and what type of policy you have - agreed value or market value. With agreed value you will receive the agreed sum insured, with market value it will be the figure that the insurer determines the vehicle is worth. If the accident was your fault the insurance company will also charge you for the excess, so the pay out figure will be less this amount. If you are not insured we can advise on how to minimise your loss.
