Is windshield replacement free in Gainesville?
Usually, yes. Under Florida Statute 627.7288, the deductible on an auto policy with comprehensive coverage does not apply to windshield damage. That means most Gainesville drivers with comprehensive coverage pay $0 for a new windshield. The rule covers the front windshield; side and rear glass follow your normal comprehensive deductible.
We verify your policy before scheduling, walk you through opening the glass claim with your insurer, and send a technician to you anywhere in Alachua County. Since July 1, 2023, Florida law requires glass claims to stay in the policyholder's name (s. 627.7289), so you stay in control of your claim while we do the legwork.

Why windshields crack in Gainesville
Gainesville sits right on I-75, one of the main freight corridors into Florida, and students and commuters log long highway trips to Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa. Rural county roads with loose shoulders add their share of chips, and they spread quickly in the summer heat.
Roads where we see the most chips: I-75 · US-441 · Archer Road (SR-24) · Newberry Road (SR-26) · US-301
A chip smaller than a quarter can sometimes be repaired, but cracks that spread into the driver's line of sight or reach the edge of the glass usually mean a full replacement. If you're not sure, text us a photo and we'll tell you which one you need.

Gainesville windshield replacement FAQ
Is windshield replacement free in Gainesville, FL?
For most drivers, yes. Florida Statute 627.7288 says the deductible on a policy with comprehensive coverage does not apply to windshield damage. If your auto policy includes comprehensive, replacing your windshield in Gainesville is typically $0 out of pocket. Liability-only policies don't include glass coverage — contact us and we'll go over your options.
Do you come to my home or work in Gainesville?
Yes. Our service is mobile: a technician comes to your home, workplace or another safe parking spot anywhere in Gainesville and Alachua County, including Downtown Gainesville, University of Florida area, Midtown, Haile Plantation. Most replacements take about 60–90 minutes, and your technician will tell you the safe drive-away time for the adhesive used.

Which insurance companies do you work with in Gainesville?
We work with all major insurers, including GEICO, Progressive, State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, AAA and Ocean Harbor. We verify your coverage before your appointment so there are no surprises.
Who files the windshield claim with my insurance?
For policies issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2023, Florida law (s. 627.7289) doesn't allow glass benefits to be assigned to a repair shop, so the claim is opened in your name. We walk you through it — usually a short call with your insurer — and handle the scheduling and follow-up for you.
Do I have to use the glass shop my insurance company suggests?
No. Under Florida Statute 627.7291, your insurer can't require you to use a particular company or location for windshield replacement, repair or calibration. You can choose MyFreeWindshield for your windshield in Gainesville, and we'll coordinate with your insurer.
Will my car need ADAS camera recalibration after a new windshield?
If your vehicle has a forward-facing camera for lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control or automatic emergency braking, it usually needs recalibration after the windshield is replaced. We'll tell you up front whether your vehicle needs it and calibrate it on site as part of the job.
Do you serve areas near Gainesville?
Yes. Besides Gainesville and the rest of Alachua County, we also serve Ocala, Jacksonville, Orange Park and many more Florida cities. See all of our service areas at https://myfreewindshield.com/locations/.
