Windshield Replacement

3 Reasons Why Your Insurance Deductible for Windshield Replacement is waived

While it’s possible to repair minor damage to your windshield—like chips and cracks—heavy damage usually calls for the complete replacement of the windshield. An average replacement costs around $400. You can either pay for it out of pocket or by claiming insurance. When it comes to insurance, you might be required to pay the deductible amount. Let’s see what deductible is.

Deductibles

It is an insurance cost that has to be paid before your insurance kicks in. For example, if your total repair cost is $2000 and the deductible amount is $500, you will need to pay $500 before you can avail the remaining $1500 from your insurance company. Auto insurance deductibles usually range from $100 to $2000. Worry not; there are three situations in which your windshield replacement deductible can be waived off.

Collision Insurance Coverage

If the accident in which your windshield was damaged was caused by another vehicle, the windshield damage should be covered by the standard collision insurance. The insurance provider for the driver who is at fault will pay for the windshield.  

Comprehensive Insurance Coverage

Comprehensive insurance plans cover all sorts of vehicular damages, including windshield damage. Some of these comprehensive insurance plans also waive off the deductible amount. Check with your insurance to know provider if the deductible amount can be waived or not.

Zero-Deductible States

Some states in the US are zero-deductible states, meaning that all kinds of deductibles in the respective state can be waived off. Check with your insurance provider to see if the deductible amount can be waived off through state policy. If your deductible amount cannot be waived off by any of these three measures, you should still consider claiming your insurance and paying the deductible. If you decide to pay all the cost out of pocket, you will miss out on the amount that the insurance provider would have paid after payment of the deductible.
