What applies to this exact problem

  1. Identify the exact insured events

    Read whether the add-on covers specified consequential engine/gearbox damage after water ingress, lubricant leakage or another named cause.

  2. Read the driver-behaviour exclusions

    Look for continued driving, attempted restart, delayed intimation, pre-existing damage, wear and tear and unauthorised repair.

  3. Map your exposure

    Review home/work parking, monsoon routes, basement drainage, past waterlogging and towing access.

  4. Create a no-restart protocol

    If water reaches intake/exhaust risk or the engine stalls in water: switch off, do not repeatedly crank, move to safety and call the insurer/roadside assistance.

  5. Check claim evidence

    Photograph water level and vehicle position, note time/location, save weather/road closure evidence where available and obtain towing/inspection records.

  6. Run the economics

    Compare annual add-on cost over likely ownership with the downside of an eligible engine/gearbox repair and your ability to self-fund.
