December 2025 Flooded Cars in North Cyprus Real Customer Reviews & Insurance Claim Experiences

Real Reviews From CAN Sigorta Customers

December 2025 will be remembered as one of the wettest and most disruptive periods North Cyprus has experienced in recent years. Sudden, intense rainfall turned narrow streets into channels, flooded garages and underground parking areas, and left drivers trapped in traffic with no safe way out.

For many vehicle owners, the most serious damage was not immediately visible. Modern cars rely heavily on electronic control units, sensors, and wiring systems that can be permanently affected by water and moisture if not handled correctly.

Below are real customer experiences from CAN Sigorta policyholders whose vehicles were affected during the December 2025 floods.

Blekchi T. – Kyrenia

Vehicle: BMW 520d
How the Flood Happened

“The water level rose incredibly fast and reached the lower door line. I did not attempt to restart the car. CAN Sigorta advised me immediately to leave the vehicle untouched.”

What Was Done

“During inspection, the seats were removed and the electronic control units were taken out and handled by electricians at the same time as the mechanical checks. That coordination mattered. The car was saved from much bigger damage.”

This case demonstrated how early action and correct sequencing can prevent long-term electrical failure.

Ahmet R. Dikmen – Nicosia

Vehicle: Sedan
How the Flood Happened

“I was driving through a narrow street when suddenly water started coming towards me. Traffic was completely packed. I did not know what to do. I was stuck and the water started entering my car.”

The vehicle could not move forward or turn back due to traffic congestion as water levels continued to rise.

What Was Done

CAN Sigorta was contacted immediately. The driver was advised not to restart the vehicle once the water entered. After conditions stabilized, the vehicle underwent full interior and electronic inspection.

This case showed how being trapped in traffic, not speed or risky driving, can cause flood damage within minutes.

Denizcioğlu M. – Yenikent

Vehicle: Hatchback
How the Flood Happened

“My vehicle was parked in the garage when the heavy rain started. Water entered the garage and began rising from the floor. I was worried because the car had been running earlier and I did not know what kind of damage could occur.”

The flooding occurred while the vehicle was stationary inside a closed garage.

What Was Done

“I applied to CAN Sigorta immediately. The response was fast. The car was professionally cleaned, the seats were removed, and the electrical systems were checked carefully for oxidation. Everything was handled properly and without delay.”

This case clearly showed that garage parking does not guarantee protection and that early interior and electrical intervention is critical after water exposure.

Elif K. – Bellapais

Vehicle: Range Rover Evoque
How the Flood Happened

The vehicle was parked overnight in an underground garage that flooded during heavy rainfall.

“When I saw the car, water had already entered the interior. I was worried it would be written off immediately.”

What Was Done

“CAN Sigorta’s claims team arrived the same day. They explained moisture testing, wiring inspections, and corrosion risks clearly. Nothing was rushed.”

John M. – Alsancak

Vehicle: Mercedes C-Class
How the Flood Happened

The car stalled while driving through unexpectedly deep water.

“I thought the water was shallow. It wasn’t. The engine cut off instantly.”

What Was Done

“They explained exactly why restarting the engine would have destroyed it completely. The inspection and process were handled without delay.”

Ayşe T. – Nicosia

Vehicle: Toyota Corolla Hybrid
How the Flood Happened

Water entered the vehicle through the floor during intense rainfall.

“My biggest fear was the hybrid battery system.”

What Was Done

“CAN Sigorta treated it differently from a normal car claim. Battery inspection and electronic systems were handled by specialists. It took time, but it was done correctly.”

Michael R. – Çatalköy

Vehicle: Range Rover Sport
How the Flood Happened

The vehicle was parked outdoors during the storm.

“The car was not moving, yet water entered through lower body vents.”

What Was Done

“They explained that flood damage is not just about engines. Wiring looms, sensors, and future failures were all considered.”

What December 2025 Flood Claims Had in Common

Across all flood-related car claims in December 2025, the same patterns appeared:

• Vehicles were trapped by traffic, garages, or parking conditions
• Water entered from below, often unnoticed at first
• Electronics were affected before mechanical components
• Electrical oxidation risk required specialist inspection
• Seats and carpets trapped moisture and needed removal
• Early intervention prevented long-term reliability problems

Flood damage is not cosmetic. It is a technical and long-term vehicle safety issue.

A Note From CAN Sigorta

Flooded vehicles are not simply “wet cars.”
They are complex technical cases that require experience, patience, and correct procedures.

December 2025 showed clearly that extreme weather is no longer rare in North Cyprus. Correct coverage, realistic vehicle values, and professional claims handling make the difference between recovery and lasting damage.

CAN Sigorta continues to handle flood claims with a focus on transparency, technical accuracy, and long-term vehicle safety.
