Varies from state to state. Florida has a law requiring insurance companies to replace one per year for free.
Here in Alabama we have to pay a full deductible or pay for the windshield. I keep all my cars at 1000.00 deductible. If I lower to 500.00 then I'm tempted to use it over 500.00 worth of damage and they raise my rates if I do. We've had work done to Bonnies Lexus, her Vette and our Jeep. All between 500.00 and 900.00 and just paid for all out of pocket but would have used the insurance had it been 500.00 but our rates then would go up.
So, ya, I have to pay full price for a windshield too.
