This kind of incident will fall under your Comprehensive coverage. You will just have to pay your deductable if you have one. It's the same kind of thing if you hit a deer, a tree falls on your car, hail damage, etc.... Basically anything not dealing with another vehicle because that would fall under your Collision coverage. Hopefully you do have Comp and Collision.

You would have had to try to ford a river before you could hydrolock with the stock airbox.
prepare a story of driving into a lake or something...

Thank you for all the replies guys. I will contact insurance company today, its Geico if that makes a difference. I have heard stories that they do cover under comp. I do have full coverage, so hopefully Geico covers this under comp as well. This is not a fun experience, but at least I learn whats not to do if that ever happen again. I am in Seattle, CAI should be banned in Washington State period.
