The act of getting rid of a vehicle to obtain money from an insurer by making a false insurance claim is commonly referred to as?

The act of disposing of a vehicle deliberately to file a fraudulent insurance claim is commonly referred to as "ditching." This term specifically describes the scenario in which an individual may abandon or destroy a vehicle with the intention of receiving a payout from the insurer through a fraudulent claim. Ditching tends to involve concealing the action to make it appear as though the vehicle was lost or stolen, while the individual seeks financial gain.

The other terms mentioned do not accurately represent this specific act of insurance fraud. For instance, flipping often refers to the practice of buying and quickly selling property, typically for profit, rather than the context of disposing of a vehicle for fraudulent reasons. Fraudulent disposal could imply various activities that involve disposing of items fraudulently but lacks the precision associated with the act of ditching in the context of vehicles. Staging usually refers to creating a fabricated accident scenario rather than the act of abandoning or destroying a vehicle for insurance money.
