    Surely that would also affect your no claims bonus though? I would avoid insurance claims for anything other than third party fault as the long-term increase in insurance premiums due to a reduction in no-claims bonuses is also a factor.

    No, as vikingaero just correctly pointed out, claims for glass alone do not affect your NCD with 99.9% of insurers.

    You do have to declare the claim when you request a quote. At the moment it doesn't seem to affect premiums but who knows so you also had an other claim...
    I think....

    All fixed. Well, apart from claiming the money back.

    Autoglass - £507

    Auto Windscreens - £255

    If I had used Autoglass I would only have needed to pay the £75 excess and they would have dealt with my insurers. With Auto Windscreens I had to pay the whole £255 because my insurers only allow them to do work to the value of £125. Barking or what.

    I used Auto Windscreens, paid on the Tesco card so will get clubcard points. Now need to claim £180 from the insurer and £75 from the school. Maybe a bunch of flowers from the school would be in order.

    The lad from Auto Windscreens was excellent. Polite and efficient. Highly recommended.

    For a bit of fun you could get one of these and stick it on the teachers car.
