Unless I missed it, that link says nothing about if there is an excess
on windscreen cover or not.
Not that I disbelieve you but it is very unusual not to have an excess
introduced to help resolve your original dilemma.
Used to be £40 but I think £70 is more like the norm.


In 2010, the windscreen cracked due to the cold and had to be replaced - I had the same policy and it cost me nothing.

The current online policy document reads on page 42 "You will be
required to pay the excess shown on your schedule for each glass claim
made."

Of course i can't get a schedule without buying insurance so the
specified amount may be zero but Hastings documents do at least allow
for the imposition of a glass excess in the same way as most other do
