We had same thing happen to our brand new car. We called our insurance co and they sent us to Saflite in Ocala. They did a wonderful job and our insurance co paid the entire bill

In the state of Florida, windshield cracks and chips are repaired free of charge. According to Florida statute 627.7288, if you have comprehensive coverage on your vehicle your insurance company will pick up the tab for any repair or replacement that you may need. The law states that your deductible will be waived.

You’re exactly right Red Tail! When we lived in Florida & I got a small spider crack (a little chip with very small 1/4” cracks around it) in my windshield, it was fixed for FREE. We presently live in Texas & had a drivers door glass shattered, fixed for FREE. Here in Texas, Ins. never got involved. They just said NO CHARGE!

Insurance covers it since a road hazard and they come to you. Call tbem or look online for a windshield repair place in our area and ask them how to handle.

Just had our larger than a golf ball chunk within site. Insurance sent safelight. Windshield replaced in 94 minutes, then taken out for a drive to set the cameras, and alarms. One hour later got an email with a certified statement that the windshield and all cameras had been calibrated to factory set

For cars with “rain sensing” technology and antennas built into the glass, OEM can cost Up to $1,500, aftermarket brand $400 (both from Safelite). Be sure aftermarket brand will allow your cars features to all work properly.

In one year we had 3 new windshields - one on one car, two on the other replaced. In all cases I insisted on OEM replacements which the insurance covered 100% (1 on Mercedes, 2 on a Mini). The damage always was caused by rocks kicked up on Interstate 75 or 10, not local roads.

When I renewed my insurance I was surprised to find that Progressive called out these 3 events and added $50.00 to my semi-annual premium. I did not dispute this (just lazy) so I'm not sure if they can be successfully challenged.

I understand it will be fixed for free-- no fault
