Where is the best place to park a car to avoid flooding?
1 Answers
Parking your car near drainage outlets or on higher ground can help prevent flooding. Below are the insurance compensation scenarios for water-damaged vehicles under different circumstances: 1. Car flooded while parked: If the vehicle is flooded while parked and had previously purchased auto damage insurance, the insurance company will cover the damages. If the car is damaged by falling objects or power poles during heavy rain, or sustains damage while floating, these are all covered under auto damage insurance. 2. Car flooded while driving with a secondary start: If the vehicle stalls due to flooding while driving through water and the driver attempts a secondary start, regardless of whether the old version of water-related damage insurance (prior to the insurance reform on September 19, 2020) or the new version of auto damage insurance was purchased, the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation for engine damage caused by this action.
