Will insurance cover claim if car was stolen and keys were hidden in car.full coverage insurance.?
Answer:
If you have comprehensive insurance, they will cover it. It does not matter that you left the keys in your car. Insurance companies do not take into account factors like that (I know this from adjusting many theft claims of this nature).
There are some responses that say you should not mention the keys thing. Actually, you should. The insurance company will want a police report. If you told the police about the key, they will find out anyway. Also, from experience, I can tell you that insurance companies are far more suspicious if someone has a theft under odd circumstances. The keys in the car thing is believable and would not have an impact on coverage.
If you have theft insurance.
dont tell them about the keys first. then yes they should cover it
no **? this just happened to us back in feb i was given the car as a gift from my mother and she had a spare set of keys in the trunk the car got stolen and we only had libility so it wasnt replaced however full coverege will replace the car. sorry for your luck
Was the car stolen from a locked garage? If not, I don't think insurance will cover as the keys were (hidden or not) left in the car. I hope for your sake I'm wrong.
Yes, it's covered if you have comprehensive or FTCAC coverage.
You need to call your agent. Theft coverage is there, they'll pay, likely.
The policy should cover the stolen vehicle unless it specifically states otherwise. This is information coming from a licensed agent in the state of California.
State Farm Insurance would cover it.
I used to handle lots of auto theft claims years ago. My boss always said, "You can't deny a claim just because someone does something not so smart." (Actually he used the word 'stupid,' but that's not politically correct.)
Your coverage is contractual. Unless you were in cahoots with the thief, your company owes you.
Make sure you report all the details to the police, a requirement for theft.
I would also tell the insurance company the truth. Not telling them about the keys can lead to problems down the road, especially if they recover the car and it has keys in the ignition.
Actually, if you have comprehensive insurance (which is a part of full coverage), theft is covered. Leaving your keys in your car is negligence, so that may be an issue.
