What does auto insurance consider flood? Would driving into high water be considered flood?

With auto insurance, each claim is unique. We do not have enough experience to say that driving into high water would be or would not be considered a flood. It is most likely not considered flooding of the vehicle, which is typically reserved for situations where a sitting vehicle is overtaken by water.

An individual claims adjuster would determine if it is a flood or not a flood. Your "other than collision" or comprehensive coverage should cover this incident, regardless of the designation as a flood.
