If My Car Is Damaged By a Home Fire, Is It An Auto Insurance Claim or a Home Insurance Claim?

As a general rule of thumb, most home insurance policies exclude vehicles that have a motor in them. This typically includes your car, a motorhome, a boat, a motorcycle, or any toys you may have, such as a 4-wheeler or snowmobile. If your home catches fire, these items are excluded from your home insurance policy, which means you will have to file a claim under your vehicle policy. In order for your claim to be accepted, you need comprehensive coverage on the vehicle.
