Default Model A insurance coverage

If a mouse gets into your car over the winter and eats a hole in the upholstery, is it covered by your comprehensive insurance?

Yes. It will pay to repair it to a condition just as it was prior to the damage occurring, ...minus deductible.

I would think so. A call is cheap and fast to your insurer. Have your insurance policy at hand. Most of us have a deductible on the parts/repairs, so you would have to figure out first how bad the damage is and the cost to recover the cushion. Mice usually don't "eat and run". Check for a family buried deeper in your seat cotton/springs.

Hagerty specifically disallows insect damage. I don’t know about rodents.

Try your home owners coverage as well, that might be a covered event even if not in your garage

Read your policy before calling. I called my homeowners years ago about options to get a tree removed and they counted it as a claim even though I was just asking about coverage...

I would change insurance companies IMMEDIATELY if they did that to me.

Not that it really matters from the other side of the planet but I'd be out of that company quick smart.
