Automobile Insurance Rates: How Much Does The Premium Usually Go Up After A Comprehensive Accident?

My girlfriend hit an unmarked small curb on a private driveway and it appears the metal plate under the 2003 Murano is tacoed/ripped from the frame. In addition the grease is leaking (1 1/2 Tablespoons over night) and the once quiet log cabin sounds like a bass woofer is on (in all gears).

It usually depends on how much the insurance company has to pay out. There is no set amount. Some insurance companies grant First Accident Forgiveness. Some will waive any surcharge/rate increases, if the damage is under $1000. She should run this press by her agent.

Also, since she struck a stationary object, the curb, her loss would fall lower than her collision coverage, not her comprehensive. Source(s): Claims - 22 years
This would not be classified under a comprehensive accident. Comprehensive is a fire, pocketing, vandalism, winstorm, hail, hitting an animal. You do not get penalize for Comp claims.

This in fact would be classified lower than a Collision/Upset.
If you claim the damages under your insurance it will for sure increase you rate on renewal, unless you have stroke of luck forgiveness coverage on your policy.
Get an estimate on how much it would cost you to fix on your own if its to much and you think making a claim is your best bet, then step for it. Don't forget you will need to pay your deductible.

As for your rate going up yes it will.. How much is tricky to say.
it all depends on what character of rating your insurance company lowers you to.

Hope this help. Good luck
