What's The Hail Damage Repair Cost Without Insurance?

The cost to repair hail damage on a car can vary widely, depending on the severity and extent of the damage, the size and location of the dents, the type of vehicle, and the rates of the repair shop.

For minor dents, individual repairs might range from $30 to $45 per dent. Paintless dent repair (PDR), a common technique used for fixing hail damage, typically costs between $75 to $125 per dent. However, hailstorms often result in numerous dents over the vehicle's surface. In severe cases, with hundreds of small dents, the total repair cost could range from $2,500 to $5,000, or even higher for luxury or vintage cars. If the damage is extensive enough to require traditional bodywork (filling, sanding, repainting), the costs will be considerably higher.

Given the potential for high repair costs, comprehensive car insurance can be a valuable protection. It's worth noting, though, that it's usually more cost-effective to carry comprehensive coverage on newer vehicles or those in very good condition, as opposed to older cars that might not be worth the cost of repairs.

Is It Worth Fixing Hail Damage on a Car?

It's a personal decision that depends on these factors. Consider the costs and benefits before deciding whether to repair hail damage on your car. Whether it's worth fixing hail damage on a car depends on several factors:

• Insurance Coverage: If you have comprehensive insurance coverage, it may cover hail damage repair costs after you've paid your deductible. If your insurance covers the repairs, it's typically worth fixing the damage.
• Severity of Damage: If the hail damage is minor and doesn't impact the vehicle's performance, you might choose to live with the cosmetic issues. However, if the damage is severe, it can lead to other problems, like cracks and rust, which can compromise the integrity of the vehicle over time.
• Resale Value: Hail damage will likely reduce your car's resale value. If you plan to sell your car in the future, it could be worth investing in repairs to maintain its value.
• Leased Vehicles: If your car is leased, you'll likely be required to fix any hail damage before returning the vehicle to avoid penalty fees.
