   Just phoned autoglass today about a extremely tiny chip. I bought windscreen cover on my third party so was covered. Autoglass asked whether i wanted to claim off my insurance company or pay upfront myself. Will claiming off the insurance affect my no claims bonus? £97 from my own pocket to repair a chip the size of mouse dropping is just insane...

   On the advert it says its covered and wont affect your insurance so call up your insurance to confirm it.

   i fixed mine myself, bought a kit from eBay, after seeing it done on my girlfriends car i used the same method and basically bought the same kit for about £5, autoglass must be making a mint.

   I get mine for free with my Egg Car Insurance, they cover EVERYTHING.
   
   I didnt have to pay a penny and got a free screen so thats what i pay the extra £9.99 over the year for, hopefully its the same for you.

   I pay £9.89 a year for my windscreen cover but not sure what it actually "covers". Insurance companies are runned by fat cats so Ill phone them up to make sure.
