Is window repair a motor claim?

Hi

I am doing quotes for my car insurance but i got windscreen repair last year. Does this need to be included in my insurance quotes?

If so where abouts? When I tried saying I made 1 claim, the criteria for window repair was not there?

Thanks

    Ignore the comparison sites if they dont have the correct tick box for a windscreen claim and go direct.

    You must mention it for 3 - 5 years from the date you claimed.

    Yes it is a claim.

    Most quote websites have it in the drop-down list of incident types. If it doesn't, I'd get confirmation in writing (even a screen print of a chat session with customer services if that's all you can get) before assuming that you can safely ignore it.
