Our windscreen took a hit from a pebble dropped by a gravel lorry whilst on the way back from Sunny Hunny.
We do have windscreen cover on our fully comp insurance policy and they do quote that a claim will not alter our no claims bonus, but what about next years premium?
This would be the second windscreen claim in 3 years
I guess it would be costly to fund ourselves as the car is a 3 year old BMW X4 (with rain sensors)
Thanks in advance

Very expensive to fund yourself, could easily be £1k+. I have made three windscreen claims over the years, they do not ever have seemed to have impacted my premiums, but I cannot be totally sure as I do not have access to the algorithms.Brunokid said:Our windscreen took a hit from a pebble dropped by a gravel lorry whilst on the way back from Sunny Hunny.

Glass typically makes minimal difference to premiums if you are otherwise a good risk. Excessive numbers of glass claims however may mean they dont offer glass cover at renewal1
