Does insurance cover side mirrors?
If the policyholder has collision or comprehensive insurance, then yes, vehicle insurance will cover a smashed side mirror. Broken side mirrors will be covered by collision insurance if the damage was brought on by an accident, but comprehensive coverage will pay if the damage was brought on by something other than an accident, such as vandalism or a natural catastrophe.
You cannot submit a claim if the cost of the damage is less than your deductible because comprehensive and collision insurance both have deductibles. Additionally, since claims typically result in higher insurance premiums, it might not be worthwhile to file one if the damage is minimal. However, compared to filing a collision claim, submitting a comprehensive claim often has less of an impact on your subsequent insurance costs.
Drivers without these coverage options will have to cover the cost of a broken side mirror out of pocket.
Driving without a side mirror is it a crime?
