Unfortunately, it\u2019s also one of the most commonly damaged parts of it. If your windshield\u2019s been damaged, you may be wondering if car insurance will cover a windshield replacement. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about getting your windshield glass replaced, how insurance plays into all of it and how to prevent glass damage in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:0px;\">Comprehensive coverage and windshield replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, a windshield replacement or glass repair will be covered by car insurance if you have comprehensive coverage. This is an optional insurance coverage that pays for damage to your car not related to a collision. This includes things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:-15px; margin-bottom:15px;\"><li>Natural disasters and storms<\/li><li>Fires<\/li><li>Theft<\/li><li>Vandalism<\/li><li>Damage caused by hitting an animal<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Comprehensive coverage is not typically required for insurance policies. However, if you owe money on your car you may be required to carry comprehensive coverage as a term of your loan or lease. Check in with your insurance company or agent to see if you have full coverage on your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Windshield replacement and glass damage are covered under comprehensive insurance, so you will need to pay your deductible before your insurance will start paying. A deductible is your share of the cost for a claim. A deductible is not the same as your premium, which is what you pay to maintain your policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, say your comprehensive deductible is $500, and your windshield replacement would cost $700. In this case, you would pay $500 and your insurance will cover the remaining cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since windshield and glass damage are some of the most common comprehensive claims made, many insurance companies offer separate windshield deductibles. At Plymouth Rock you can select a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/insurance\/auto\/coverage-policy-options\/packages\">$<\/a><a href=\"\/insurance\/auto\/coverage-policy-options\/packages\">0 windshield deductible<\/a>, which means you won\u2019t have to pay to replace a windshield in a covered loss. Plymouth Rock also offers a $100 Glass Deductible option, which applies a $100 deductible for glass-only claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Read More:<a href=\"\/resources\/what-is-a-deductible-in-car-insurance\">Understanding your car insurance deductible<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:0px;\">Situations covered for windshield replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coverage for a windshield replacement is typically provided under your comprehensive coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"home-resources-orange-border\" style=\"width:100%;\"><strong>Common Windshield Replacement Situations<\/strong><ul style=\"list-style-type: '\\2713'; padding-left:10px;\"><li style=\"color:#FF7826;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px;\">Cracks and chips from road debris<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#FF7826;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px;\">Hail damage<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#FF7826;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px;\">Falling objects<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#FF7826;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px;\">Hitting an animal<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#FF7826;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px;\">Vandalism<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#FF7826;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px;\">Theft-related damage<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Most situations that call for a windshield replacement would fall under comprehensive, but there are cases where collision coverage will apply. Collision coverage pays for physical damage to your car from hitting another car or a stationary object. If your windshield glass was damaged as a result of a collision, your collision coverage may apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:0px;\">When windshield replacement isn\u2019t covered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coverage for a windshield replacement depends on your insurance policy and the circumstances surrounding the damage. While comprehensive coverage typically covers glass damage, including windshield replacements, there are situations where your coverage may be limited or not applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common situation for a windshield replacement not being covered is if you don\u2019t carry the right coverage. Your insurance will not cover a windshield replacement if you don\u2019t already have coverage, whether that\u2019s comprehensive or collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your insurance will not cover pre-existing damage. For example, if you bought a used car with cracked glass your new insurance policy will not cover a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the cost to replace your windshield is lower than your comprehensive deductible, your insurance may not cover it. This could be the case if you don\u2019t carry a separate glass deductible and your comprehensive deductible is high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your comprehensive deductible is $1,000 and it costs $700 to replace your windshield, your insurance will not pay for any of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t have comprehensive or collision coverage, there are still some cases where you may be able to have insurance cover your windshield replacement. If you\u2019re involved in an accident that damages your windshield and the other driver is at fault, their liability insurance should pay for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:0px;\">Claims process for windshield replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that filing any kind of car insurance claim can be stressful.

If you choose a different deductible for glass only claims, you may see an increase to your insurance premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plymouth Rock offers a waiver of deductible for glass repairs for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/insurance\/auto\/coverage-policy-options\/packages\">Assurance Plus customers<\/a> at no extra cost. This means you will have no deductible for the repair of simple glass breaks, chips, nicks and cracks resulting from a covered loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:0px;\">Preventative measures to protect your windshield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking some preventative measures can help reduce the risk of windshield damage and prolong its lifespan. Here are some easy ways to help protect your windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t follow other vehicles too closely. Rocks, gravel and other road debris can be kicked up by other cars on the road. Large trucks especially tend to kick up more debris. Give construction vehicles more space, as objects can fall off them and damage. Leave plenty of following distance when you\u2019re driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid driving on gravel or rough, unpaved roads if possible. Choose routes with well-maintained roads and avoid construction zones. Not only do these rough roads pose a hazard to your windshield, they can also wear down other parts of your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be smart about where you park. Avoid parking under trees, as branches, fruit or acorns may fall on your car and damage it. If possible, park in a garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your windshield wipers in good condition. Worn out wiper blades not only reduce visibility, but they also may scratch your windshield and weaken it over time. If you notice your wipers are losing effectiveness, it\u2019s a time to replace them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you end up with a small chip on your windshield, get it repaired as soon as possible. It\u2019s easier and cheaper to fix a small chip before it becomes a large crack that requires a full replacement. Inspect your windshield periodically to stay on top of its condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:0px;\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"43018\" class=\"elementor elementor-43018\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f3a9f7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2f3a9f7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8653427\" data-id=\"8653427\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8686fa2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"8686fa2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1411\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1411\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How much does it cost to replace a windshield?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1411\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1411\"><p>The cost to replace a windshield depends on your vehicles.
