Hurricane Ophelia has predicted winds over over 130klm, but are you insured to drive in them?

Various posts on social media are claiming that because most insurance companies don’t cover natural disasters, you won’t be insured to drive.

Earlier today, major insurance companies confirmed that people will be insured to drive their car but that they strongly advise against it.

They say that social media posts claiming that insurance companies won’t cover people are unreliable but that drivers must also be responsible when the conditions they’re driving in.

The bottom line is, it’s contentious at best, if you don’t have to travel then stay at home. Don’t risk it.
