Does car insurance cover cars swept away in the ocean?

Whether or not car insurance covers a vehicle when it is washed away into the ocean depends on the specific terms of your policy. According to the Financial Rights Legal Centre, some policies may cover flood damage, while others may not. It is important to read your policy carefully to understand what is and is not covered.

According to Maya on Money, even if your policy does cover flood damage, it is essential to note that there may be exclusions or limitations. For example, your policy may not cover damage caused by negligence on the driver's part. If you were attempting to cross a flooded road, for example, your insurance company may argue that you were negligent and deny your claim.
