Will flood insurance cover damage to my car?

Flood Insurance Coverage

Flood insurance covers damage to your home, personal belongings, and other structures on your property. However, it will not cover extensive damage to your car. It may cover some damage. However, you’ll need comprehensive auto insurance to cover all of the flood damage to your car. Many people might be confused by this fact because flood insurance does cover a lot of extensive damage. However, comprehensive auto insurance will cover extensive damage to your car, under the hood, as well as the exterior and interior. Flood insurance can financially cover the repair or replacement of your home, as well as the contents, or your personal belongings.

Flood insurance will also cover unattached structures on your property. However, it’s best to discuss flood insurance coverage with a licensed insurance agent. One of our agents can answer your questions and help you find the best coverage for your situation.
