Q. How long is your car under warranty?
Your vehicle’s warranty will be stated in years or miles. A basic warranty that covers the general components in the vehicle will last anywhere from 3 to 5 years or between 36,000 and 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Your powertrain, however, has a stronger warranty.

Q. How can I get my home insurance to cover water damage?
Homeowners insurance generally excludes water damage from floods. You’ll have to buy a flood insurance policy if you want coverage for flood damage. You can purchase a FEMA flood insurance policy, or buy one from a private flood insurance company.
Q. Can your car be totaled from water damage?
If your car does get flooded, it may be okay if the water wasn’t higher than a few inches off the ground. In this case, it generally means that the flooding won’t really do much damage, if any at all. However, if water rises 6-inches to a foot above the floor, this very well could be considered enough to be totaled.
Q. Is rain damage considered flood damage?
What about Damage from Storms or Rain? Heavy rains may cause water damage without causing flood damage. If the roof of your home is damaged during a storm and rainwater leaks into the house, it is usually considered water, not flood damage. The key difference is the event that caused the damage, in this case, a storm.
