How Does Insurance Cover Water Damage for New Cars?
1 Answers
Insurance claims for water-damaged vehicles include: vehicle towing fees; repair costs for body components damaged by water immersion; repair costs for engine water ingress. Important Notes: 1. Filing a Claim: Once the vehicle is submerged in water, the owner must immediately call the insurance company to report the incident. 2. Take Photos Promptly: In cases of large-scale vehicle flooding caused by heavy rain, insurance adjusters may not arrive quickly. Owners should photograph the submerged vehicle to document the damage for assessment purposes. 3. Towing Services: Both insurance companies and 4S shops provide towing services. However, during severe weather when towing services are overwhelmed and delayed, owners should be mentally prepared for potential wait times.
