Will Your Insurance Cover Auto Glass Repairs?

At Austin Auto Glass, we want to make your auto glass repair experience as smooth as possible, and that includes handling your insurance claims.

Whether you're dealing with a cracked windshield, damaged side windows, or rear glass issues, your auto insurance may cover the cost of repairs or replacements. Keep reading to learn more about your options and what types of insurance might cover your auto glass needs.

Types of Insurance Coverage

1. Comprehensive Coverage:

Comprehensive coverage, often known as “other than collision coverage,” is one of the most common ways insurance can help cover the costs of auto glass repairs. This type of policy includes damages caused by outside elements like flying debris, falling objects, vandalism, or severe weather. If your windshield or other auto glass was damaged by one of these causes, your comprehensive insurance will likely cover the repair or replacement.

Check your policy or contact your insurance provider to confirm if you have comprehensive coverage. If you don’t, it might be worth considering adding it to your plan to avoid future out-of-pocket expenses.

2. Full Glass Coverage:

In some states, drivers can also opt for full glass coverage. This policy specifically covers windshield repairs and replacements without requiring you to pay a deductible. Whether you need a small chip repaired or a full windshield replacement, full glass coverage ensures your insurance takes care of the expenses.

If you’re unsure whether you have full glass coverage, contact your insurance company or reach out to us for assistance in navigating your policy.

Repair or Replacement? What’s Covered?

Depending on the damage, your windshield or auto glass may either need a repair or full replacement. Here’s how your insurance typically applies to each:

  • Windshield Repair: Minor chips and cracks can often be repaired without any cost to you, especially if you have comprehensive or full glass coverage. This is because repairs help prevent further damage and cost less than a replacement.

  • Windshield Replacement: For more extensive damage, such as large cracks or shattered glass, a full replacement will be necessary. Depending on your policy, you may need to pay a deductible, or the insurance company may cover the entire cost.

Note: If the cost of the repair is lower than your deductible, you will be responsible for covering that cost. However, if the repair exceeds your deductible, your insurance should cover the difference.
