You’re driving along the freeway innocently minding your own business when BAM! A big, invasive truck sends a piece of loose gravel hurling your way. Your instinct is to swerve and miss it, but it’s too late. The damage is done and now you have a starburst-shaped chip on your windshield and you’re not sure if you need to fix it or if your insurance will cover the damage.
Insurance Basics
The general rule of thumb when it comes to insurance and rock chip repair is that most car insurance companies will cover chips without a deductible. Another rule of thumb is that rock chips should be repaired immediately because they will inevitably spread which could result in total windshield replacement.
There are few companies that will charge a deductable to repair windshield chips and a deductible can range in price from 100-500 dollars depending on your type of insurance coverage and the company your enrolled with. If you don’t commonly experience issues with chips then it may be cheaper to pay for the repairs on your own. Typically, a rock chip costs $50 to fix.
