Well, the way it worked when hail totaled my last car was they took the average sale price of your car in your area and offered you that. So not the best, but not the worst either.

You can choose to accept or reject their offer. So it is possible to see it and still back out although I'm unsure why you'd want to take the necessary steps to repair it so it's fit for travel.

Cash out, buy something else.

I've gotten about 4k in hail damage payouts with very little noticeable hail damage occurring the second time.  I got it fixed the first time for about half of what they gave me (they gave me 2k and I got it fixed for a little over 1k).  Then another hail storm came through a year or so later and they gave me another 2k.  I didn't get it fixed since then though which sucks cause if a huge hail storm goes through then I can't claim again.  I need to get it fixed for about 1k again sometime or just say fuck it and take the risk.
