We opted to claim insurance for the same.Claim was passed only for front windshield , tailgate and rear bumper. The running board was also damaged but they rejected that claim.SA said that we needed to file two separate claims for front windshield and rear bumper and tailgate.We paid 3600 in total.(1200 * 2 for two claims and 1200 for car paint polishing).<\/p>\n<p>Overall, they did a good job and replaced the tailgate and bumper rather than repairing the old ones.
