I was rear-ended on the highway. My car will definitely need some repairs, but it’s not a total loss. One thing I need to take care of is the airbags. How much does it cost to replace airbags?

Since airbags are for one-time use only, it’s good that it’s on your radar to get them replaced. Unfortunately, replacing airbags can cost as much as $1,000 to $2,000 for a single airbag, even more in some cases.
Replacing your airbags is essential—and worth it—to protect you and your passengers. However, replacing airbags is also something that only a
professional mechanic
should handle—improper installation could mean they won’t be effective the next time they’re needed. They could also inflate as you’re trying to install them, which could cause serious injury with all the force behind them.
Being financially protected by the right
car insurance
is also extremely important. Before an accident happens, you can use the
