Free Windscreen Repair via Insurance: Do You Qualify?
Posted by Glass Doctors | Filed under Free Windscreen Repair, Windscreen Repair
Free Windscreen Repair ? I dont believe it !
As windscreen repair is performed without destroying the factory’s safety seal which holds the windscreen securely in place during collisions and that ensures the airbag will deploy properly, most insurance companies will waive your excess and pay the entire cost of a Glass Doctors repair if you are insured fully comprehensive. (not fleet or commercial policies)
So windscreen chip repair is normally FREE! If your insurer is listed below we can either bill your insurer direct or they will reimburse you for the repair without costing you an excess or affecting your no claims bonus.
Some insurers now have a top limit so you may have to pay the difference.
Some bargain basement insurers now even charge a £10 excess on repairs so you may also have to pay this too
**Some insurers now have an excess or top limit for repairs so you may have to make up the difference. *Some insurers offer “flexible”, “basic” or “value” fully comp policies that exclude glass cover altogether.

chip on windscreen drivers side

Is it “smaller than a £1 coin” ? If so there is a reasonable chance of a good repair if it is reasonably fresh.

DirectLine charges £10 excess and they only cover up to £40 so basically only £30 are free and client have to pay £40.

Direct Line will pay up to £40 in total leaving the client to pay £29. Although it may seem inconvenient to actually pay for a windscreen chip repair it would be more risky to trust the nominated supplier to try and repair it as you may end up with an excess bill for £75 if it goes wrong. Thats £46 MORE expensive!
