cracked windshield (question about insurance)

Post by AcingTeam »

Hey guys,
Well, I got my windshield cracked on the highway by a small rock... The crack got bigger since I first noticed. The question is... can insurance cover the cost of replacing the windshield or is every insurance different?
Cause I really don't want to pay deductables...
Thanks,

Igor

That depends if you have a deductable for your comprehensive portion of the policy.
I keep that part with a $0 deductable so I do not have to pay anything in cases of cracked whidshield, deer jumping out, trees falling on the car, hail damage, lightning, tornados, or anything else that are listed as "Acts of Got/Acts of Nature".
If you do not have different deductables set up for different parts of the policy, then you just have to pay.

I found a local glass shop that only wants $239 to install a Lanos windshield, which isn't bad at all.
