What type of car insurance covers natural disasters?

I live in an area that is prone to flooding and landslides. Is there a type of car insurance covers these incidents?

Emily Maracle · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“If you’re looking for coverage for natural disasters, add
comprehensive coverage
. Comprehensive insurance covers perils that aren’t a collision loss.
Most comprehensive coverage includes damage from:
  • Floods, flash floods, hail, water
  • Windstorms
  • Earthquakes or earth movement
  • Colliding with an animal
  • Theft
  • Broken glass
  • Fire
  • Vandalism
  • Other acts of God
Depending on your
car insurance
 company, your comprehensive coverage may also cover additional damages.”
