In the event of vehicle submersion, auto damage insurance can cover the damaged parts of the vehicle except for the engine. Damage to the engine caused by flooding may only be covered by water ingress insurance. Vehicle water ingress insurance, also known as engine special loss insurance, is an additional coverage that car owners can purchase specifically for the engine. Additional details are as follows: Auto Damage Insurance: Auto damage insurance refers to a type of commercial auto insurance where the insurer compensates for damage to the insured vehicle caused by an accident while the vehicle is being used by the insured or an authorized driver, within reasonable limits.
