Auto Insurance:Glass Waiver of Deductible and Glass Buyback
Glass Waiver of Deductible/Glass Buyback Coverage
There are many names that describe this coverage:
$0 Glass
Glass Waiver of Deductible
Glass Buyback
Glass Coverage
Safety Glass
Glass and Safety Equipment
Glass Buyback deductibles can be stapled on to any auto insurance policy that has Comprehensive Coverage on it. Many insureds drove to this coverage in masses and demand that they have it on their vehicle. Why? While some can say they've never been in an accident and others can testify that they've never gotten a speeding ticket or ran a red light. Nobody can say they haven't had a cracked windshield. But what is very commonly misunderstood is that Glass Coverage really only applies to the replacement of the entire windshield. Many insurance companies will cover chips and repairs to windshields without the addition of this rider to your auto policy. Think back now of how many of those windows had to be replaced as opposed to only fixed! If you've had 1 replacement made in the last 10 years but have paid for glass coverage that entire time then you probably lost a little money since the repairs would have been done for free.

GetCoveredUSA.com Insurance Tip: Be careful of making too many glass claims. Dont confuse this coverage with simple Glass Repair because most policies already include Free Glass Repair. This coverage in most cases only applies to replacement of glass and not repair.
