You actually answered your own question when you said that your daily driver is a depreciating asset.

It would create a "moral hazard" if your 2010 Toyota Camry that is realistically only cost $5,000 to purchase used at a dealer was insured for the cost of a new 2020 Toyota Camry.

The current system pays you what a 2010 Camry with like miles, options and condition would sell for at a dealer, less your deductible.

How much more do you think they should pay?
