There are a lot of questions that come up when you shop for car insurance. One key piece you don’t want to forget about is the whether your cars’ windshield is insured. The windshield on your car can end up being one of your priciest repairs. You may get a few cracks over time or a whole lot in one accident. Either way, you want to be protected from coughing up a lot of dough for a new windshield.

So should you get glass insurance for your car? It’s a good idea. Replacing a windshield can run you up hundreds of dollars, not including additional costs for multiple cracks or excessive damage. One important note, however: make sure the glass insurance is part of your comprehensive coverage. If it’s offered as a separate policy from your car insurance, glass insurance can get expensive.
