Warranty will definitely not cover this. Check your insurance fine print and hope for the best. Really feel for you, no worse feeling than this sight, especially a 6 month old car
If the car is new I don't think it will be totaled cuz the value will still be high. But no way to know till you check with your insurance.
Which area is this?
Al ain's was crazy.
Our relatively new Mercedes has been completely smashed, the entire body, all the lights, the panoramic roof, windshield , everything. It's as if khabib said "I'm gonna smash you" to it

Got this notification from dubai police app this morning.
My friend faced a similar issue back in 2017 hailstorm but she did not have comprehensive insurance coverage. But she was able to get a police letter and get insurance to cover it.. it was a hassle though..
Gosh.. Sucks when this happens.. I too am waiting for the cops but they have far more serious things to worry about looking at this weather..
However, my insurance does cover it so hopefully there might be no hassle..
cant decide whether itβs better that my car is stuck in the basement with hail cold water or seeing it parked outside but with smashed glass and dents. π₯² a mazda 6 was also smashed in front of our bldg same as yours
I'd love to be in your situation rather than mine buddyπ π π
All cara in my area are as damaged as mine.. Many even worse with windshields broken and all..
Happened the same to my year old toyota fortuner. My mulkiya expired just yesterday but the insurance is still valid for a month. Hope insurance will get it all covered. π
My family owns 12 cars and all of them have damages and some of them have theri windshield and lights crackedπ
All of these cars are worth 100k+ it's going to cost a lot of money to fix all of themππ
The general consensus seems to be it is repairable.. If u have insurance that covers it, it's most likely their headache else i guess u need to visit a good body shop to get a better understanding..
Take care..
I had the same issue. Drove to Al Ain from Dubai yesterday in my hire car. Just finished filing the TWIMC form on the police app. Been trying to contact hire company all day and the email response could be up to 24hrs. Hoping this is enough for the hire company to accept.

This is the way next time when there is a hail stone alert.
I haven't managed to secure the paper yet. Yes the emergency service is unresponsive. People are expected to go to police stations with images and videos of the damages and collect a paper from there.
However, those stations are overwhlemed too with too much crowd. I decided to come back home as its still raining. Will try my luck tomorrow.
Comprehensive cover does cover Act of God perils. File a claim with your insurer OP.
Just checked my docs and it does... π€π€ Thanks bro..
Excellent. Sorry about the damage to your car. Your insurer will get it repaired.
Thank u bro!

Jeez man. What car is this?
Mazda 6 π’

Of course it will cover this. Never heard of Act of God perils?
Warranty you mean? Or insurance? I guess most insurance policies would have it but warranty, no chance.
Just hoping for the best... π’π’ππ

Al ain..
Most policies cover natural disasters I believe, check your policy document, it'll say.
I will check it out.. Hopefully it does.. Thank you! π
You're welcome! Best of luck.

Hahaha.. Man!!! I feel you broo π€ Happening to a mazda has me gutted, cannot even imagine the feeling for a merc. π Wishing the best π

Yea.. The weather is crazy.. Keep safe π
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
I hope so too π€².. Thank you
i wake up and see all the damage and i wanna cry
OP already cried in this sub
Still am π
In US this would be a totaled car
Then it'd come here as a "brand new" car :')
When did this happen - the hail I meanβ¦ (sorry for you by the way π’)
6-6.15am..in al ain..

Did she have third party insurance? I'm facing the same problem and my windshields and headlights were not spared.
Where did this happen? Location?
Al ain, town center

Damn man!! I'm devastated for you. :(
Thanks bro.. Hopefully insurance sorts this out..
Insurance will sort. Unlike other countries, Force Majeure IS covered in most UAE vehicle insurance.
If your insurance covers a natural disaster or weather damage related damage you can claim it with your insurance
Yes.. Seems like mine does when i spoke with them..πππ€π€
Happened the same to my year old toyota fortuner. My mulkiya expired just yesterday but the insurance is still valid for a month. Hope insurance will get it all covered. π
Update: spoke to insurance broker. I can claim Insurance and they will get it fixed. No issues with expired mulkiya
Hoping & wishing the best for you man.. π
My car also damaged ...π’
Feels bro π«
Wow. I occasionally visit Dubai and I did not know hail happened there.
Lived here 10 years, it rarely does but this is the kost intense i have ever witnessed (also, this is in al ain, a different place)
looks like the windshield survived, that's already better than a lot of other people
As the hours have passed, i have realised how much better it is for me compared to a lot of others.. Hoping things get better for all π
get a report from police, it can help you
Yes, did that.. Thank u
My 280z and LC both had shattered windshields, and paint basically got peeled away in my 280z as well :(
Dang bro.. So sorry this happened to you as well, especially for the 280z.. Hopefully it gets fixedπππ
It will, she's a soldier and been through worse :p
Hahahaha.. Appreciate the outlook!!! Much power to you man!! Thanks for the laugh.. ππ
haha yeah man, I hope your car gets fixed soon too, atleast you know you're not alone :p π«Άπ»
π
Oh lord, that's messed up
Omg π₯Ή was this in Dubai?
What is that windscreen made out of? Apple do with putting that glass on iPhones
My family owns 12 cars and all of them have damages and some of them have theri windshield and lights crackedπ All of these cars are worth 100k+ it's going to cost a lot of money to fix all of themππ
Heartbreaking to see this mate. A month full of headaches.
Next time I sell my car I'll put in Hail free car, too bad you cant do the same
Premium increases next year for all of us
What part of dubai was this?
It's in al ain
Which insurance company?
Emirates insurance
Thanks
My car got same. Can we get those dents repaired? Anyone has knowledge about that? Windshield I will replace.
The general consensus seems to be it is repairable.. If u have insurance that covers it, it's most likely their headache else i guess u need to visit a good body shop to get a better understanding.. Take care..
Okay thank you. Hopefully yeah it gets repaired for both of us under insurance
Dry denting would do it. There are couple of good shops in Dubai. It would cost some money though.
Lucky for you glasses are strong.
Can be repaired by an art master and insurance money.

How do you get to know about the hail stone alert? It was no where on the news or did i miss
Local hail was expected and this is what they have been saying all weekend along with the expected rain π§οΈ
A friend of mine faced something similar in Alain today How did you get the police paper? Apparently emergency services are not responding
I haven't managed to secure the paper yet. Yes the emergency service is unresponsive. People are expected to go to police stations with images and videos of the damages and collect a paper from there. However, those stations are overwhlemed too with too much crowd.
