This is a kind of insurance policy for your car that covers you for when it has become damaged in some way, but not through a collision. This cover will protect you in other situations, such as when an animal chews through wires.
Rat damage is often accidental damage, as far as vehicle insurance providers are concerned. This means that comprehensive cover, designed for accidental damage not caused by an RTC, will protect you. Once an inspection has taken place that definitely proves rats are the cause of the problem, you'll just have the insurance deductible to work out. If you do not have comprehensive cover on your vehicle, we would highly recommend that you call your insurance provider anyway to check whether or not you have some cover for accidental animal damage.
If you are not covered, sadly you will need to fork out for the repairs out of your own pocket, not expecting to be reimbursed by the insurance.
