Chula Vista, CA Car InsuranceHail, flood and your car in Chula Vista
Hail is a car problem here too
San Diego County recorded 1 hail events of one inch or larger in the last 10 years, the largest measuring 1.00 inches. Hail that size dents panels and breaks glass on a parked car.
Hail damage to a car is paid by comprehensive coverage, not collision and not liability. A liability-only policy pays nothing toward it. The comprehensive deductible is the number to choose with hail in mind.

Flooded cars are covered — homes are not
FEMA's maps for the Chula Vista area include these high-risk flood zones: Zone AE, Zone A, Zone AO.
For a house, flood needs a separate policy. For a car it is different: flood damage is covered by comprehensive, the same coverage that pays for hail.
