Windscreen cover

Add Windscreen cover to your policy

Windscreen cover is a sensible option to add to your Car insurance policy as it means that your damaged windscreen can be repaired without incurring costs and with no impact on your No claims discount. Windscreen insurance also gives you access to the 24 hour service of our approved windscreen repairer, Autoglass, who will carry out your repair or replacement quickly and efficiently, liaising directly with us to save you the trouble.

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not include this cover in your policy, you will not be protected for glass-only claims.

Is it for you?	Windscreen damage is the most commonly claimed part of a car insurance policy and with some windscreens costing up to £2,000; this can be a very expensive item to replace. Whilst your basic car insurance will cover your windscreen, it will be treated as a normal claim subject to full excess and impacting any No claims discount you may have earnt. Given the frequency of windscreen claims, you may consider it prudent to take out this level of protection. By adding the windscreen cover option, you can be sure that we will take care of the cost of fast, professionally carried out repairs. Where replacement is necessary, there is an excess of £75 to pay, but thereafter we will meet the full cost of the replacement if you are using our recommended repairer; if you are using an alternative repairer, our maximum contribution is £250. Our approved windscreen repairer, Autoglass, has over 100 branches across the UK, and over 1200 mobile technicians who will come out to you wherever you are so you can be sure to receive the levels of service you expect and deserve.

Damage to your windscreen, and how to tell if it can be repaired	Your Cover Windscreen cover insures you for repair or replacement, depending on the nature of the damage to your windscreen or other fixed glass. Because removing and refitting a windscreen is a complex process and sometimes has implications for systems within the vehicle, the industry preference is to repair wherever possible, using advanced resin technologies applied by professional technicians using specialist equipment. A repair takes about 30 minutes to complete. Our authorised repairer, Autoglass, carries out windscreen repairs to the recognised BSAU242a 1998 standard. They provide the following guide so you can see for yourself whether damage to your windscreen is repairable: The damage should not be wider at any point than the 28mm diameter of a £2 coin The damage should not be within 6cm of any edge of the windscreen If the damage lies within a 30cm wide vertical band directly in front of the driver then the damage should not be greater than 10mm across You can find out more about windscreen damage on the Autoglass website.
