Will My Insurance Go Up for Glass Repair?

You spot a chip in your windshield and your first thought is: Will this raise my insurance premium? Don’t worry, you’re not alone in asking. At Affordable Auto Glass Wisconsin, this is one of the most common questions we hear from customers across the state.

The good news? In many cases, getting your glass repaired won’t affect your rates at all. But let’s take a closer look at how auto insurance works when it comes to glass damage.

Does Insurance Cover Glass Repair?

Yes, comprehensive auto insurance typically covers glass damage, including windshield chips, cracks, or full replacements. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• If you have full glass coverage, many insurers will waive your deductible for small repairs.

• Without full glass coverage, you might have to pay a deductible—but the claim still usually falls under comprehensive coverage.

• Not all policies are created equal, so it’s always smart to check with your provider.

Will Filing a Glass Claim Raise My Rates?

In most cases, no.
Glass repair claims under comprehensive coverage are generally not considered “at-fault” events, meaning they’re less likely to impact your premiums. Here’s why:

• Glass damage is often caused by natural events (e.g. rocks, weather), not driver error.

• Insurance companies typically don’t penalize you for minor claims like a windshield chip.

• That said, multiple claims in a short period could still affect your risk profile.

So if this is your first or only recent claim, your rates are unlikely to go up.

It depends on the damage and your deductible. Here’s a quick guide:
