    Yeah your good for now. In the long run, it'll cost you more in jacked premiums.

    Your premiums go up according to the number of claims you make. (of course that isn't the only thing).

    So yes...they will!

    depends, the only way to know for sure is to call your insurance company and ask them. They won't raise it just for asking.

    Depends on your insurance company. One claim could mean that you're a higher risk for vandalism. If you have a no-claims bonus (i.e. lower rates), you'll lose the bonus next year.

    Basically its one big shit-show (insurance companys) if it's minor vandalism (although it is really gay) i would bite the bullet and shell out the cash ... it will probibly save you more in the long run


    But that's gay ... there seems to be alot of shit like this happening lately ... Calgary is starting to loose that Small-City feeling and moving towards Big City crap (maybe i have just been sheltered)

    better to pay for it your self than go through insurance... those fuckers fucked me for claiming 2 times and 1 theft... should have paid for most of them my self.

    They will jack your premiums. When my car got keyed I just shelled out the 1500 bux and got it repainted. If I ever find those sons of bitches I will put a bat to their head.

    Yup, don't bother claiming unless you are a oldie.....just think, insurance companies always make their $$$ back in the future

    How bad is the damage?

    And is it just luck of the draw that your car gets key? cause freak, it is starting to make me worry cause everyone is getting their car vandalized recently

    If anyone ever keyed any of your cars Sam we would be going on a fucking manhunt ... with pillowcases full of doorknobs

    but seriously i would feel bad for whoever keyed your car

Oh they will go up a bit but not much..."how much is not much?" Oh only 160 dollars a year.....for the next 6 years!!! BEE-AWTCH!! Man i just about went apeshit on her.....Insurance companies are only a legal mafia.....
