No replacement for a new car, but compensation can be made according to the terms of the auto damage insurance. Here are the relevant details: Regulations: According to the auto damage insurance clauses, compensation applies to vehicles submerged due to garage flooding or damaged by falling trees or rocks caused by heavy rain. In post-storm damage claims, as long as the engine is not flooded, all repairs and part replacements are covered under the auto damage insurance. Precautions: If the vehicle is stationary, even if the water submerges the entire car resulting in a total loss, the insurance company can compensate for the total loss. However, once a car is waterlogged, the main damages are to electronic components, interiors, etc. The costs involved vary depending on the extent of water ingress and the vehicle model.

Is It Serious If a Car Is Flooded to the Carpet Level?

A car being flooded to the carpet level is quite serious. Below is a detailed explanation of the water intrusion situation in cars: 1. Minor water intrusion: A small amount of rainwater splashing in will not affect the car's wiring system or mechanical system, as the wiring system is protected by covers. Simply clean and dry the wet items. 2. Severe water intrusion: Rainwater may enter the cabin, potentially causing malfunctions in electronic devices or rusting of some cabin components. Additionally, since the front passenger area is close to the dashboard, electronic devices are likely to get wet when rainwater enters the car. Even if the electronic devices are not damaged, the front passenger seat, floor mats, and other interior parts are prone to water seepage.
