Each state in the U.S. has unique terminology for vehicle titles. Specifically, in Maryland, there are two distinct categories of salvage titles: those marked as ‘>50%’ and ‘>75%’. Regardless of the category, both types are recognized as salvage titles within the context of inspections for obtaining a rebuilt title in the U.S. Additionally, these titles are also applicable for exporting vehicles.
