Glass and Windscreen Cover — NZ Motor Insurers
Windscreen and glass-cover terms — separate excess (if any), repair vs replace policy, sublimits.
Last refreshed 2026-05-20
What this topic covers
Most Comprehensive NZ motor policies treat windscreen and glass damage separately from other claims — often with a lower or zero excess, and sometimes no NCB impact. Policies that repair (rather than replace) glass often waive the excess.
