Windshield Coverage Questions

Does insurance cover windshield replacement in New Jersey?

Yes, windshield replacement is covered under the comprehensive portion of your auto insurance policy. Depending on your coverage, you may have a deductible unless you've added zero-deductible glass coverage.

How much does windshield replacement cost without insurance?

Without insurance, windshield replacement typically costs $200-$500 for standard vehicles and up to $1,000 for luxury vehicles with advanced features. This is why comprehensive coverage is valuable.

Will a windshield claim raise my insurance rates?

Generally, a single windshield claim won't increase your rates since it's considered a comprehensive claim. However, multiple glass claims in a short period might affect your premiums.

Can I choose any repair shop for windshield replacement?

While you can choose any repair shop, using our network of approved providers ensures quality work, warranty protection, and often direct billing to your insurance.

What's the difference between repair and replacement?

Chips smaller than a quarter can usually be repaired for $50-$100. Cracks longer than 6 inches or in the driver's line of sight typically require full replacement.
