Does insurance cover windshield replacement?
Coverage depends on your state and policy. Choose Arizona or Florida for a plain-English guide to windshield replacement, deductibles, and glass coverage.
Short answer: Yes, when your policy covers the loss. Florida waives the comprehensive deductible on windshields (Fla. Stat. § 627.7288, windshield only); Arizona insurers must offer an optional zero-deductible full-glass add-on (A.R.S. § 20-264). We confirm your exact coverage — free — before any work.

Arizona vs. Florida glass coverage
Arizona requires an elected full-glass option; Florida's waiver is windshield-only. Here's exactly which glass each state's law reaches.
| Glass | Arizona | Florida |
|---|---|---|
| Windshield | Covered with elected full-glass option | Deductible waived with comprehensive |
| Door glass | Covered with elected full-glass option | Normal comprehensive deductible |
| Rear glass | Covered with elected full-glass option | Normal comprehensive deductible |
| Quarter glass | Covered with elected full-glass option | Normal comprehensive deductible |
| Sunroof glass | Depends on policy wording — not named in the statute | Normal comprehensive deductible |
| Coverage requirement | An optional zero-deductible full-glass add-on every insurer must offer — elected at purchase or renewal, never automatic | Comprehensive coverage — the statute waives the windshield deductible on its own |
| The statute | A.R.S. § 20-264 — the Arizona guide | Fla. Stat. § 627.7288 — the Florida guide |

We come to you
Home, work, or roadside. Most jobs take 30–45 minutes, with ADAS recalibration when your vehicle needs it, a lifetime workmanship warranty, and we bill the insurer directly.
Under A.R.S. § 20-469, an Arizona insured may choose the glass repair facility unless the policy contract says otherwise; for a Florida personal-lines windshield claim, Fla. Stat. § 627.7291 bars an insurer from requiring a particular company or location. If your vehicle carries a camera behind the windshield, the job includes ADAS recalibration to factory spec.
Auto glass insurance FAQs
Does insurance cover windshield replacement?
Insurance may cover windshield replacement, but the policy decides. In Florida, Fla. Stat. § 627.7288 waives the deductible for windshield damage when the policy provides comprehensive or combined additional coverage. In Arizona, A.R.S. § 20-264 requires insurers writing comprehensive private-passenger coverage to offer optional full-glass coverage, and the policyholder must elect it. Bang AutoGlass verifies your coverage before any work.
Can my insurance company make me use a specific glass shop?
In Arizona, A.R.S. § 20-469 allows an insured to choose a glass repair facility unless the policy contract says otherwise. For a Florida personal-lines windshield claim, Fla. Stat. § 627.7291 says an insurer may not require a particular company or location.
Which insurance companies do you work with?
Use the carrier list below to find the guide for your policy. We verify your coverage before any work, help you with the claim, and bill the insurer directly when coverage applies. Your policy decides what is covered. If your carrier is not listed, call Bang AutoGlass so we can check the policy details before you book.
Will filing a glass claim raise my rates?
Glass claims are filed under comprehensive coverage. Arizona law (A.R.S. § 20-263) restricts an insurer from increasing a premium as a result of an accident the insured did not cause or significantly contribute to; Florida has no equivalent statute. How a particular claim is treated depends on the facts, your policy, and your carrier — and we never pressure you to file.
Can insurance cover door glass or rear glass replacement?
Arizona and Florida treat other vehicle glass differently. A.R.S. § 20-264 defines safety equipment to include glass used in the windshield, doors, and windows, but the optional full-glass coverage must be elected. Fla. Stat. § 627.7288 applies the deductible waiver only to windshield damage. For Florida door, rear, or quarter glass, the policy's normal comprehensive deductible applies.
What if I don't carry the coverage I need?
We'll give you a clear, no-pressure self-pay quote for your exact vehicle and glass, and explain any out-of-pocket cost before work begins. You can also add full glass coverage to your policy going forward. Either way, there are no surprises.
