Ditto on that comment.
Zero deductible compreshesive is amazinly inexpensive sometimes.
Cracked windshield ? ...they come to your house and replace it on the
spot ....at zero cost .
Totally worth it.
and it's not much more costly than the common 100 dollar deductible
compreshensive. As a guess, the premium on zero deducible is perhaps 20
% higher than the 100 deductible. e.i. Not much more at all.
