It usually depends on where the chip is. I believe that if the chip is in an area in front of the driver that they will replace the windshield. Many insurance companies will repair the chip without any deductible. You need to check with your agent.

They used to. State Farm will no longer to that though. I'll bet many other have or will follow suit.

Nationwide paid the whole enchilada for my chip repair. Looked like a little waterspot after it was done. Didn't notice it unless I really looked for it.
