Do I have to pay my deductible if my car is broken into?
"Do I need to pay it even if the damage doesn't cost that much to fix? My passenger window was broken when someone tried to break into my car. I have a $750 deductible."
Emily Maracle · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“If your vehicle is damaged during a break in or attempted theft, your
comprehensive insurance
will typically cover the damages. However, you are still required to pay your deductible before your insurance will cover anything. This means if the cost to repair your window is more than $750, you’d pay your deductible and the insurance would cover the rest. If it costs less than $750, you would pay the repair cost as you wouldn’t be submitting a claim.
Even if the repair cost is close to your deductible, you always have the option of choosing to pay out of pocket instead of submitting an insurance claim.”
