Know Your Rights
There are many misconceptions about no cost windshield replacements. Here is the truth:
You're eligible for no-cost replacements
All vehicles that carry Florida-based comprehensive coverage insurance are eligible for no-cost replacements under Florida Law.
You can choose where you want to do it
Your insurance company CANNOT tell you where you must have the work done. In Florida, you have the right to choose who completes any work on your vehicle through your coverage.
There's no limit to how many replacements you get
You ARE NOT limited to “one free windshield per year” as many people think. You are entitled to coverage and replacement WHENEVER you have damage no matter how often it occurs.
Don't worry about the deductible
Your deductible DOES NOT APPLY to windshield repairs and replacements under Florida law. The statute is listed below.
