Comprehensive guide to 2026 vehicle depreciation compensation amounts. See rates by vehicle age, brand, and damage type.
Vehicle depreciation compensation is calculated as a percentage of your vehicle's market value before the accident. The rate depends on several factors including vehicle age, brand prestige, damage severity, and repair quality.
General Rule: Newer and more prestigious vehicles receive higher compensation rates because their value is more significantly affected by accident history in the used car market.

|---|---|---|
| New Vehicle | 15-25% | 75.000 - 125.000 ₺ |
| 1-2 Years | 12-20% | 60.000 - 100.000 ₺ |
| 2-3 Years | 10-18% | 50.000 - 90.000 ₺ |
| 3-5 Years | 8-15% | 40.000 - 75.000 ₺ |
| 5-7 Years | 5-12% | 25.000 - 60.000 ₺ |
| 7-10 Years | 3-8% | 15.000 - 40.000 ₺ |
