If you live in an area where hail storms are common, here’s a word of advice: get comprehensive auto insurance.
A bad hail storm can easily dent your car or crack your windshield, potentially costing you a pretty penny to fix if you don’t have insurance that protects your car. The average auto claim for hail damage is more than $4,000, according to 2020 hail claims data from State Farm.
But you won’t necessarily have to shell out that kind of money if you have comprehensive coverage as part of your policy, because that will usually cover hail damage.
