Peril: Damage caused by Vehicles

The vehicles peril in homeowners insurance covers damage to the home and other insured structures caused by a vehicle, regardless of whether the vehicle is owned or operated by the policyholder or someone else. This includes accidental collisions with the structure but excludes damage caused by vehicles used for business purposes or intentional acts. Personal property inside the home is generally not covered unless explicitly stated in the policy.

This peril covers damage directly caused to an insured structure by a vehicle, including damage resulting from objects thrown by vehicles.

However, it does not apply when a vehicle owned or operated by the insured or a resident of the insured building causes damage to the following:

  • A fence
  • A driveway
  • A walkway

AVERAGE COST PER VEHICLES CLAIM: 

$3,000 approximately

(Insurance Information Institute, 2023)

In 2022, less than 6.9% of homeowner insurance claims involved "all other property damage" (Insurance Information Institute).
