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

Free Auto Insurance Quotes





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.

Car Insurance Related I filed an insurance claim for flood damage and the whole engine had to be replaced. What if the final repairs cost more than the original estimate given by the adjuster? Does the insurance company pay the difference or do I have to pay the difference out of my pocket?
