Car Insurance Policy | Act of God


If your car insurance policy is just a normal comprehensive insurance type, it doesn't normally include what they call Act of God provision.



While monitoring the rescue and relief operation updates through twitter, I read the following updates from @ANCALERTS about car insurance policy relating to the damages caused by flood due to to typhoon Ondoy.

Generali Pilipinas SVP & Chief Marketing Officer Melvin Esteban,RFP shared the following information/tips:

Car insurance policy and Act of God

- If you just get normal comprehensive insurance, it doesn't include what they call "act of God".

- If policy has "act of God" or "act of nature", whatever is damaged by this flood will be covered.

- The "act of God" clause costs 400-500 pesos per year.

How to file insurance claims for flood-damaged cars

- Insurance companies are very reasonable. It is more of extra validation, as in the right person and the right car.

- If you did apply to this "act of God" clause,the next step is to secure your property and to tell your insurance company

- If you have an "act of God" clause, even cleaning expenses (i.e. for house filled with mud) will be covered.

- Submit an affidavit (narrate events) because the company also has to know what happened.

- Photographs are very important in securing your insurance.

- If your car was washed away by floods, and then you found it with some parts missing,it is not theft,it is still "act of God".
