Hurricane Florence Aftermath – Does Car Insurance Cover Water Damage?

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that explains how car owners can be compensated for flood and hurricane damage by their auto insurance coverage.

Although Florence has dissipated over a week ago, its consequences are still present. In North Carolina rivers swollen by the storm's heavy rains are still flooding homes and businesses in their paths as they make their way to the sea. Experts have already anticipated which rivers will be affected and issued warnings.

A huge number of cars were affected by Florence. Water can render a car totally useless. The modern devices installed in a car can be short-circuited when water breaches in.  So, it is normal for drivers to ask themselves if their insurance plan will reimburse them.

Comprehensive car insurance covers damage caused by weather. Under the terms of the contract, the policyholder will be reimbursed if the car was damaged by extreme weather. Comprehensive also reimburses the owner if the car was totaled. So, if the car was flooded by Hurricane Florence, this policy will cover the costs.

The policyholder will be reimbursed based on the car's Actual Cash Value. This means that the policyholder will be reimbursed for the value of the car at the moment when the car was flooded. A car's value depreciates over time. This is a very important thing to remember.

Comprehensive coverage will also cover damaged accessories. But only if those accessories were declared and covered before the car was damaged. Making claims for accessories that were not declared is useless. No company will reimburse undeclared items.

Mitigate the damage caused by the hurricane. Once it is safe, get the vehicle to a safe location and dry it. Besides reducing the damage, the policyholder will have more changes for a better claim settlement.

"Comprehensive coverage is designed to cover weather-related damage, including flood damage. If your car was flooded during Hurricane Florence, you should file a claim", said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.
