Will the insurance company compensate if the car is flooded without water wading insurance?
2 Answers
If the car is flooded without water wading insurance, the insurance company will not compensate. Here are the relevant details: 1. Insurance company: An insurance company refers to a corporate legal entity established in accordance with the Insurance Law and the Company Law. Insurance companies collect premiums and invest the capital obtained from premiums into assets such as bonds, stocks, and loans. The income generated from these assets is used to pay the insurance compensation specified in the policy. 2. Vehicle insurance: Vehicle insurance, also known as motor vehicle insurance or auto insurance, refers to a type of commercial insurance that covers personal injury or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents to motor vehicles. Auto insurance is a type of property insurance and is a relatively young category in the field of property insurance.
Speaking of cars being flooded without waterlogging insurance, I've been through it once. Last year during the rainy season, my car parked in the underground garage got flooded, with water rising above the body, completely soaking the entire vehicle. In a panic, I contacted the insurance company, only to be asked if I had waterlogging coverage. When I said no, they immediately told me there would be no compensation because standard auto damage insurance generally doesn't cover flood damage—you need to purchase additional waterlogging insurance. The insurer explained that it's an add-on specifically for water-related damages. Later, I spent tens of thousands repairing the car out of my own pocket, deeply regretting not adding this coverage earlier. Since then, I always advise people to check their policies before the rainy season and add waterlogging insurance as a precaution. It's also important to check the weather before driving and avoid parking in low-lying areas. In short, you can't rely on insurance for this—you've got to be more cautious yourself.
