Is the hotel responsible for flooding the parking in front of the hotel?

If you stay in a hotel and park your car in front of the hotel, the hotel will be responsible for the unfortunate flooding of the vehicle. Because when you check into a hotel, to a certain extent, you have already formed an accommodation service relationship with the hotel. Parking in front of the hotel and taking a taxi can also be regarded as a service of the hotel. Hotels usually need to take care of where people park their cars.

Not only can the hotel be held responsible, but also related claims can be made through car damage insurance. During parking, if the car is scratched by other vehicles or people besides being flooded, you can also ask the hotel to bear the responsibility and compensation. Because the parking period belongs to the hotel's custody period, according to the laws of our country, the custodian shall be liable for compensation if it is not properly kept. In the incident, the hotel was the custodian and the vehicle was the object to be kept. If the vehicle is damaged, the hotel is responsible for keeping the items.

In case of rainstorm, hotels should pay more attention, especially the person in charge of parking management. Once water is found in the parking lot, it should be evacuated or drained in time to avoid flooding the car and causing losses to the owner. If the rainstorm is really too heavy and there is no tendency to stop, then the owner should be informed to pick up the car in the parking lot in time.

Although the hotel did not control the vehicle well during the rainstorm, which caused the vehicle to be flooded, it needs to bear certain liability for compensation. However, the owner should inform the hotel in advance and register the vehicle when checking into the hotel, otherwise the hotel is likely to be irresponsible after the incident. But now most cars are insured, so when the car is damaged, you can claim compensation from the insurance company first, which may be simpler than claiming compensation from the hotel.
