What Happens If Your Car Is Affected by a Flood? 

Flooding is a serious concern for many Texas drivers, especially during heavy storms and hurricane season. The aftermath can be overwhelming if your car is caught in a flood.

All American Hallmark Insurance LLC understands how stressful this situation can be. We’re here to guide you through the next steps and help you recover as quickly as possible.

What to Do Immediately After Flood Damage

If your vehicle has been exposed to floodwater, your safety comes first. Avoid starting the car, as water can cause severe engine and electrical damage. Instead, take these steps:

• Document the damage with photos and notes.
• Move the vehicle to a safe, dry location if possible.
• Contact our team to report the incident and begin the claims process.

Understanding Insurance Coverage for Flood Damage

In Texas, standard auto insurance policies do not automatically cover flood damage. However, if you have comprehensive coverage, your policy may help pay for repairs or a total loss if the vehicle is beyond repair. Comprehensive coverage may handle losses from severe weather like floods, hail and storms.

It’s important to review your policy details or contact us if you’re unsure about your coverage. We can help you understand what’s included and what steps to take next.

Insuring Your Vehicle from Future Floods

While not all floods can be avoided, parking on higher ground and staying informed about weather alerts can help reduce your risk. We also recommend reviewing your auto insurance regularly to ensure you have the appropriate coverage.
