This means that you need to pay your deductible when you file a claim. A deductible is your share of the cost for an insurance claim. A deductible is not the same as your insurance premium, which is what you pay to maintain your policy. It\u2019s what you pay before your insurance starts paying for expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, say your comprehensive deductible is $500 and it costs $1,000 to fix the hail damage on your car. In this case, you would pay $500 and your insurance will cover the remaining cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact terms of your insurance policy may be different, so read your insurance agreement or talk to your company or agent to find out about your specific limits and exclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%; text-align:right; padding:15px 0px;\"><a href=\"#back-to-top\">Back to top >><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"protect\"><\/a><h2 style=\"margin-bottom:0px;\">How to protect your car from hail damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to be prepared for hail is to keep an eye on the weather forecast. If you\u2019re expecting hail, take these preventative measures to protect your car from costly damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Park indoors or in a covered parking lot if possible. A car port can also provide protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t park somewhere protected from the elements, consider using a hail blanket or cover. These heavy duty padded covers help absorb the impact of hailstones to protect your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a pinch, you can used thick quilted pads like moving blankets. Make sure to secure them with ratchet straps, or under a normal car cover so they won\u2019t fly off during the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re driving and a hailstorm develops, immediately find a covered place to park. Not only is the hail potentially damaging to your car, the slick conditions from ice on the road are dangerous. Pull into the nearest covered lot if possible and remain in your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%; text-align:right; padding:15px 0px;\"><a href=\"#back-to-top\">Back to top >><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"FAQ\"><\/a><h2 style=\"margin-bottom:0px;\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"44269\" class=\"elementor elementor-44269\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-661d44b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"661d44b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-68331f9\" data-id=\"68331f9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ae2caa elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"5ae2caa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-9531\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9531\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How long do you have to claim hail damage?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-9531\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-9531\"><p>Each instance of hail damage should be reported to your insurance company as soon as possible.
