I live in the Midwest, where all is flooding. My father only called as well as pronounced which his automobile was flooded, as well as is right away not running. Does automobile word typically cover this? we know I’ll need to check with the word association in the morning, though I’m only extraordinary if which is deliberate an action of God, thus lonesome underneath the comp. claim. We have full coverage.

Assuming comprehensive coverage, and the damage is proven caused by flooding, yes, insurance will cover. However, if the car was submerged, it may not be possible to repair it, water gets into the wiring and damage can keep getting worse for many months, and be impossible to stop. If the seats in the car were submerged, they likely cannot be salvaged.
You don’t need flood insurance on a car. Comprehensive is “all-risk” coverage, excluding collision and upset, meaning, if any other peril isn’t written into the exclusions, it is covered. In other words, comprehensive auto insurance is exactly what it sounds like — coverage no matter what happens. The comprehensive policy covers literally the full panoply of potential hazards, from acts of God like floods and blizzards through vandalism and more, and there need not be an identified perpetrator for you to collect on that claim.
Yes and no. You have full coverage it may cover the car. It could be consider a act of God. On the other hand the insurance company can say. Why was the vehicle not moved. I am sure you don’t have flood insurance on the car. Whether they will cover it or not. You may even hap to take them to court to get anything out of them. A good insurance company will cover it, if there is full coverage.
If you have comprehensive, that will cover it (less any deductible you may have chosen)
