Frequently Asked Questions
Will filing a dent claim raise my insurance rates?
Comprehensive claims (which cover most dent damage) typically don't raise rates since they're not at-fault incidents. However, filing multiple claims in a short period could affect your rates.
When is it worth filing vs paying out of pocket?
Generally, file a claim if repair costs significantly exceed your deductible and you haven't filed recently. If repair costs are close to or below your deductible, paying out of pocket often makes more sense.
What if the insurance payout seems too low?
You have the right to get independent estimates and negotiate. Request an itemized breakdown of their estimate and provide competing quotes from certified technicians if their offer seems low.
