Does insurance pay for a windshield replacement in Florida?
If you carry comprehensive coverage, the deductible does not apply to windshield damage under Florida Statutes § 627.7288. Florida law does not require you to carry comprehensive coverage for windshield work. Insurers may use in-network providers that replace windshields at no cost to you.
Can my insurer make me use a specific shop?
No. Florida law says no person, insurer, agent, or adjuster may require you to use a particular company or location for windshield replacement, repair, or calibration under a personal lines auto policy. You may choose any provider you want.
