Broken car glass does not count as vehicle damage insurance. Because the risk of glass breakage only covers the windshield and the window next to the driver's seat, excluding the car's sunroof. The upper right corner of the front windshield will have labels such as compulsory insurance, annual inspection, and environmental protection. These labels are one-time. If the glass is broken and needs to be replaced, the cost of replacing these labels should be borne by the owner. Many electronic devices, such as dash cams and ETC, are installed on the inside and upper part of the front windshield. If these devices are damaged due to glass breakage, the insurance company will not compensate for the loss except for the glass itself. There is no damage compensation when installing glass or repairing the car. In the insurance terms of vehicle damage insurance, the exclusions are clearly defined: separate glass breakage, body scratches without obvious collision marks, and separate damage to the sunroof or rearview mirror; the insurance company is not responsible for compensation. Principles of vehicle damage insurance: Motor vehicle damage insurance is one of the basic types of motor vehicle insurance, referred to as vehicle damage insurance.

Collision and overturning. Collision refers to the direct contact between the insured vehicle and external objects. Artificial scratches on the insured vehicle are not covered by vehicle damage insurance.

I've been driving for almost 20 years and often take long-distance trips, encountering several instances where the windshield was cracked by flying stones. Once on the highway, the windshield suddenly shattered. I thought the comprehensive insurance would cover it, but the insurance company explained that comprehensive insurance mainly covers losses caused by collisions or natural disasters, and such standalone glass damage isn't included. I ended up paying over 800 yuan out of pocket for the repair. Since then, I've always purchased glass insurance as a supplement, which specifically covers such sudden breakages. I advise fellow drivers to regularly review their insurance policies and not rely solely on comprehensive insurance to solve all problems. Also, when parking, choose spots away from construction sites or gravel roads to minimize risks.

As a young city driver, I often see car windows shattered by random objects on my daily commute. I used to think comprehensive insurance covered everything, but the policy clearly states it doesn't cover standalone glass breakage—only damage from accidents or falling rocks is included. Later, I easily added glass coverage through an app for just a few dozen yuan a year. Extra caution is needed when driving on highways—my friend had to pay out of pocket for window repairs because he didn't have this coverage. Understanding policy details is crucial; don't skimp on small expenses only to suffer bigger losses from fragments.

As a family car owner, I am most concerned about the safety when the glass is broken. Driving with large cracks makes me feel uneasy. Comprehensive car insurance covers the overall loss from accidental incidents, but simple glass damage is not included in its scope. You must purchase additional glass insurance to cover it. Last year, I tried not buying insurance and the repair cost me over 300. Now, I add the coverage every year for peace of mind. Try to park away from hazardous areas, maintain a safe distance, and ensure clear visibility just in case.
