I was looking at a windshield repair website recently, and it said that insurance companies will pay for a windshield repair even if their customer doesn't have comprehensive insurance coverage. Is this true? If a customer is only paying their insurance company for liability coverage, why would they be willing to pay for a repair? Could this be true for certain companies and/or states??

I've never heard on an insurance company doing that. I suppose it's possible, but it seems highly unlikely.

The website said that even without "comprehensive", insurance companies will pay for repair. :?: I'd never heard anything like this, but it would sure be nice if they did! I know when I had Farmer's insurance, I paid an extra premium for "glass buy-back" protection. But I had full coverage with a higher deductible, but the "glass buy-back" took care of repairs for free and new windshield for only $100 deductible.

What I have found amazing is that I have had customers that carry comprehensive insurance with high deductibles (printed on their ins. card) of $500. and $1000. and their insurance company still waived the deductible for repair :D :D I don't know if the company has an across the board policy of waiving repair deductibles regardless of the amount or what but it sure makes it a no-brainer for the customer.
