What are appearance allowances?
An example would be if you had a wheel that incurred a small scrape and is part of the accident claim, the insurance may elect to offer you a certain amount of money to live with the scrape that you could use towards your deductible. The process behind it is you probably have scrapes on one, two or all three of your other wheels and providing it is not a safety issue, an appearance allowance can be used with some insurance companies.
