How Florida Glass Coverage Usually Works
Coverage rules vary by glass type and policy. Not every claim works the same way — here's what many Florida drivers experience.
Front Windshield Replacement
Florida has historically given drivers favorable terms for front windshield replacement, and many comprehensive policies still offer reduced or waived deductibles for this claim type. Coverage and deductible depend on your specific policy and when it was last renewed.
Windshield Chip Repair
Chip repair is often handled differently than full glass replacement. Many carriers treat it as a lower-cost claim — sometimes with favorable deductible terms. Check your specific policy, since deductible and approval still depend on your insurer.
Door, Side & Rear Glass
Door glass, side glass, and rear windshield are covered under comprehensive insurance. Your standard comprehensive deductible typically applies. If your deductible is higher than the repair cost, a cash-pay option may be more practical — we can help you decide.
Comprehensive vs Liability
Auto glass claims go through comprehensive coverage — not liability. Liability covers damage you cause to others and does not cover your vehicle's glass. If you carry liability-only insurance, auto glass damage is generally an out-of-pocket expense.
What Actually Happens When You File a Glass Claim?
Here's how it typically goes — including the parts other pages leave out.
Contact Proset or Your Insurer
Many customers call us first — we help confirm the glass type, coverage likelihood, and next step. You can also contact your insurer directly to open the claim.
Open the Claim
If filing through insurance, open the claim with your insurer. You'll typically need your policy number, the date of damage, and your vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN.
If Routed to a Third-Party Service
Some insurers route glass claims through a third-party administrator or preferred vendor flow. If that happens, tell the representative you want Proset Auto Glass as your chosen shop — and ask them to note it.
We Confirm the Service Details
Once the claim is set up, we confirm the glass type, pricing, and service details with you and the insurer as needed. We provide documentation to support the claim.
Mobile Service — We Come to You
We schedule your appointment and come to your home, office, or wherever the vehicle is located. Depending on your coverage, your out-of-pocket cost at time of service may vary — we'll confirm in advance.
What a Completed Claim Looks Like
From the first call to the finished installation — every job gets the same attention, whether it\'s going through insurance or out-of-pocket.
You Can Choose Your Glass Shop
Your insurer handles the coverage — you handle who does the work. Those are two separate decisions, and the second one is yours to make.
Request a Quote from Proset- In Florida, customers generally have the right to choose the shop that performs their covered auto glass work.
- Your insurer may recommend or present a preferred vendor — that does not automatically mean you must use that shop.
- If you want Proset Auto Glass, tell the representative that Proset Auto Glass is your chosen shop and ask them to note it on the claim.
What if the Insurance Company Transfers Me to Another Glass Company?
This is one of the most common questions we hear — and it can feel confusing in the moment.
The administrator may present a preferred shop as a default option. Being presented with a preferred shop does not automatically mean that is your only option — you can ask to use Proset Auto Glass.
Tell the representative: "I want Proset Auto Glass as my chosen shop." Ask them to note your preference on the claim.
If the representative says you must use their shop, ask to speak with a supervisor or call your insurer directly to confirm your options.
If you're still running into confusion, call Proset Auto Glass and we'll help you understand the next step for your situation.

If you have comprehensive coverage, windshield replacement is generally covered. Florida has historically given drivers favorable terms for windshield replacement, and many comprehensive policies still offer reduced or waived deductibles for this type of claim — but coverage and deductible depend on your specific policy and when it was last renewed. Contact your insurer or call Proset and we'll help you figure out the next step.
Chip repair can go through insurance if you have comprehensive coverage. Many carriers handle chip repair differently than full replacement — often with more favorable terms, since repairing a chip costs less than replacing the glass. Deductible and coverage still depend on your policy. It's worth checking with your insurer before assuming repair is out-of-pocket.
Yes — comprehensive coverage is what applies to auto glass claims. Liability insurance covers damage you cause to others and does not cover your own vehicle's glass. Collision insurance covers vehicle-to-vehicle accidents and rarely applies to glass claims. If you carry liability-only coverage, auto glass damage is generally an out-of-pocket expense.
Yes. In Florida, customers generally have the right to choose the shop that performs their covered auto glass work. If your insurer or a third-party claims administrator presents a preferred shop, you can tell the representative that you want Proset Auto Glass as your chosen shop and ask them to note it on the claim.
This is common. Many insurance companies use third-party glass claims administrators to process auto glass claims. When you call your insurer, you may be transferred to one of these services. The administrator may present a preferred shop as a default option — but you can still request Proset Auto Glass. Tell them clearly: "I want Proset Auto Glass as my chosen shop." If you run into confusion, call us and we'll help you understand the next step.
Not necessarily. Whether a deductible applies — and how much — depends on the type of glass, your specific policy, and your insurer. Some policies have zero or reduced deductibles for certain glass claims, particularly for windshield replacement or chip repair. Door, side, and rear glass claims more commonly involve a standard comprehensive deductible. We'll advise you on what to expect for your situation.
Typically: your insurance policy number, the date and cause of the damage, your vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN, and a description of what was damaged. Having photos of the damage is helpful. If you contact Proset first, we can help you identify what's needed for the glass portion of the claim.
No — you can contact Proset first. Many customers call us before calling their insurer, and we help them understand whether the damage is likely covered, what the claim process involves, and what to tell the representative. We can also advise whether a cash-pay option might make more sense depending on your deductible.
