Hurricane checklist for a car in Maryland

  1. Indoor, elevated storage away from surge zones beats any open lot.
  2. Fill the tank before drop-off; fuel can be scarce after a storm.
  3. Photograph the car and odometer; keep title and policy with you.
  4. Remove remotes, toll tags and valuables.
  5. Confirm comprehensive cover and any named-storm deductible.
  6. Get the building wind rating, the FEMA flood zone of the address and the re-entry rules in writing.
