Practical guidance
Check the policy, excess and actual options.
Vehicle policies differ. Some include separate glass cover, some apply a windscreen excess, and others may affect how or where work must be arranged. Check the policy documents or contact the insurer before authorising work if you intend to claim.
A private quotation may be worth considering where the excess is high, cover is unavailable or the customer prefers to arrange the work independently. Premier Windscreens Edinburgh does not imply approval by, or affiliation with, any insurer unless expressly confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
Useful things to know.
Can you deal directly with every insurer?
No assumption should be made. Check with us and your insurer before booking work as an insurance claim.
Will a glass claim affect my policy?
That depends on the insurer and policy terms. The insurer is the correct source for advice about premiums or claims history.
