The following is an introduction to the compensation situation for water-damaged vehicles in Zhengzhou by insurance companies: 1. If the vehicle is parked and gets flooded, the insurance company will fully compensate if the vehicle has comprehensive insurance. 2. If the vehicle is flooded while driving, this involves whether the vehicle has flood insurance and comprehensive insurance. If insured, the insurance company will fully compensate. 3. If the vehicle is flooded while driving and there is a secondary ignition after the vehicle stalls, it will not be covered by insurance. 4. If the vehicle does not have comprehensive insurance, the insurance company will not compensate, and the owner will need to pay for repairs after the vehicle is flooded.

Last year when Zhengzhou was hit by severe flooding, my car was half-submerged in the parking lot. I panicked and immediately called my insurance company to file a claim. Fortunately, I had purchased additional water damage coverage as part of my auto insurance policy. They asked if the car was running at the time (it wasn't) and sent an adjuster to assess the damage. The claims process went relatively smoothly, though it was a bit tedious: first they took photos to document the location and condition of the car, then it took several days to get the results. They covered most of the repair costs, but since the water immersion was too severe, the car was eventually classified as flood-damaged and depreciated accordingly. This experience taught me a valuable lesson: always review your insurance policy regularly. Natural disasters can happen unexpectedly, so don't skip optional coverages out of laziness. Acting quickly is crucial - delays might lead to claim denials. Several neighbors in my community who had incomplete coverage didn't get compensated, and their subsequent维权 efforts were troublesome.
