Rep Power: 279 Not true, you pay the deductable. If your deductable is 500 thats what you pay. You submit the bill to the insurance company and they review it. If they think its an acceptable price your good to go. If they think the price is inflated they will send someone to inspect the damage, or they will tell you where to take it to get it fixed. Usually a body shop that they are affiliated with and know won't screw them. So if it only costs lets say 900 to fix just the scratch and 3000 for a new paint job and you submit the bill that says 3000 your ins company is gonna be like wtf, and thats when the problems arise??? Now I guess if you really wanted a new paint job then you could key the rest of the car yourself and get it all painted, but thats a little thing called insurance fraud.

and the insurance co will not pay for that unless painting the whole car was nessisary.
Hers whats going to happen.
1. take the car to a paint shop.
2. the paint shop will call your Insurance and have an Adjuster come out and inspect the car. The Paint shop and the insurance adjuster will come to an agreement on what does and doesn not need to be repaired.
3. The car will be repaired, and when you come in to pick it up, you will pay your deductible. the rest of the cost will be covered by the insurance company.

Rep Power: 286 It depends on how your insurance is set up... the peeps that pay 200 for a deductible pay more for a monthly premium. lol mine is 500 so my premium is lower. =) It doesn't matter if your car is fully loaded or not... it is what you pay the insurance company monthly period, the plan you are on.. like lets say you are on the "silver" plan, then you might have the 500 deductible and only 50,000 in life insurance as where the "premium" or "gold" plan will have 200 deductible and 100,000 life ins or accidental death... or whatever. I work in a med insurance company and we have similair plans but of course dealing with medical... plan A B C D it goes down depends on what you are willing to pay, how sick you might think you will be etc
