Windscreen Replacement Costs and Repairs

Windscreen Replacement Costs and Repairs

What is the cost of replacing the windscreen?

The costs of auto glass services vary depending on different factors, including the type, model and year of your vehicle, the type of window and the damage caused.

Usually, the price of windscreen replacement is from around $200 to even $1000. The reason is that common cars have lots of aftermarket windscreen for owner to choose, and the aftermarket windscreen is normally cheaper than OEM windscreen. While the windscreens of some models are equipped with various sensors made by car manufacturers, such as automatic rain sensors, leading to few aftermarket windscreens and higher prices.

The spends on windscreen repair are usually lower than replacing a windscreen. The price is from about $100, depending on the size and type of damages. If the damage is too large to be repaired, the whole windscreen must be replaced.

You can save money by repairing your damaged windscreen immediately before it spreads. The chipped or cracked windscreen would affect the view of driver, especially those damages on the driver’s side of windscreen, threating the life of driver.

Does a windscreen repair claim increase car insurance?

Normally, you can claim for the costs of auto glass repair or replacement caused by an accident, if you have car insurance. However, you may pay excess for your claiming. The excess varies depending on the insurance cover and the causing of damages, but it is generally more than the cost of replacing a windscreen. Besides, claiming for a windscreen chip repair would affect your premium, which means that your insurance may increase at next renewal depending on the cost of windscreen replacement.

However, if you have windscreen cover, you can claim for excess-free windscreen repair or replacement. There is an option on your comprehensive car insurance, which is windscreen and window glass cover.

The option enables you to claim for any cost caused by chipped or cracked car windows without paying normal excess. It will also not affect your next premium on car insurance. The only thing you do is to pay a little extra on your comprehensive car insurance.

There are some restricts of excess-free windscreen cover. The first is that your windscreen cover includes only one or two claims during one insurance period depending on your car insurance policy. When you do have the windscreen cover, but you have already claimed once or twice this insurance period, you should pay for the excess fee when next claiming.

The other should be noticed is that a previously cracked windscreen will not be cover by any car insurance. If your car windscreen is damaged before your windscreen cover starting, you will be unable to claim for the costs of windscreen repair or replacement.

Whether or not to pay the windscreen cover depends on the frequency of your car window damaged. If you travel a lot, you may expose to high risks of window damages. You can choose windscreen cover to help you save money.
