Look closely at insurance costs, also. My Comprehensive, which does NOT include glass, was more than my collision. Then I had to add the cost of glass coverage on top of that. I think that's pretty unusual in most states.
The agent couldn't tell me how the price was figured. Says the underwriter does that. I suspect it could have something to do with hail and tornadoes.
