Mexico City Floods: Thousands of Cars Submerged, Insurance Coverage in Spotlight

Mexico City Floods Submerge Dozens of Cars; Condusef Clarifies Insurance Coverage Mexico City experienced severe flooding on June 2, 2025, leaving dozens of vehicles submerged in floodwaters, particularly around Viaducto Miguel Alemán and Paso y Troncos. The storm, described by authorities as the worst since 2017, caused widespread disruption. "It was chaos," recounted one resident whose car was partially underwater. The video footage shows the extent of the damage, with cars completely submerged and emergency services working to rescue vehicles and assist drivers. The Comisión Nacional para la Protección y Defensa de los Usuarios de Servicios Financieros (Condusef) has issued a statement clarifying that only those with comprehensive car insurance policies are covered for flood damage. Policies with limited coverage or only civil liability will not compensate for losses incurred during such events. "It's crucial for drivers to review their policies carefully," a Condusef spokesperson stated, "to ensure they have adequate protection against unforeseen circumstances." The event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of preparing for extreme weather events and having appropriate insurance coverage.
