Is My Windshield Replacement Covered By Insurance In Virginia?
Your Windshield May Be Covered Under Your Insurance Policy!
Driving with a cracked windshield is both aggravating and dangerous, and the cost to repair or replace it can be expensive. Fortunately in many cases, your auto glass may be covered by your insurance in Virginia. Depending on the deductibles with your policy, it MAY or MAY NOT be wise to file a claim. Our team of auto glass specialists at Yellowstone Auto Glass can help you decide the best option for your windshield replacement and work with your insurance company directly.
Liability Insurance Coverage
This type of insurance, also known as lowest liability is for covering damages you have caused to others or their property. Under Liability insurance, your vehicle’s damages are not covered nor is the cost of your windshield repair or replacement.
Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
Optional Auto Glass Insurance
If you own a vehicle with an expensive windshield, especially newer vehicles with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) which can cost thousands for a replacement, then you should consider adding auto glass to your comprehensive insurance policy. Comprehensive coverage has the lowest deductibles, and many insurance providers will offer to add on coverage to auto glass.
What if My Vehicle Needs Windshield Calibration?
If your damaged windshield must be replaced, it is absolutely required that your ADAS is re-calibrated to ensure that the sensors and cameras function properly. Most insurance providers will cover the cost of your windshield calibration. Re-calibrating your ADAS is necessary to be sure that features like lane departure, adaptive cruise control, and safety camera sensors are working to standard.
