you should probably take a better look at your policy and actual comprehensive premium you are paying.

comprehensive coverage is usually pretty inexpensive compared to collision

Get your insurance on it. It might be totaled.
It don't take much. I it was about $100 per ding in New Mexico in 2015??? when one of ours got hit pretty hard. Even at that though they never really look the same...just too much damage.
I bought a severely hail damaged truck in New Mexico. in 2015, with a salvage title that was like brand new mechanically but looked like sever hundred people had beat it for hours with a ball peen hammer LOL. It was a 2012 F150 XLT 4wd crew cab with about 25K miles on it and I paid the guy $5k cash for it. Had a hard time getting insurance on it but finally found a company that would insure it (I have no idea what would have happened had their been a claim). That truck was like new on the inside and mechanically but it was some kind of beat up LOL....made a damn fine daily driver though. I sold it in 2020 for $12K in Washington State. It had almost 150K on it when I sold it. Drove it 125 miles and "made" $7k on it...not too shabby for a truck that was totaled.....

Hail is to DFW what rain is to IAH.

Have any of you ever had to get a vehicle fixed from hail damage ?
I had a 2018 F-150 Platinum that got wrecked by hail. They pulled all the dents out of the roof but just replaced the entire hood. It was about 10,000 dollars worth of damage. My comprehensive covered it like it would have a broken windshield. Progressive.
Same hail storm destroyed my ten year old roof on my house. Had to get that replaced as well.

How did you not see this coming? Hail is to DFW what rain is to IAH.
Reminds me of the rental car return in OKC; 50+ cars being returned, all with brand new hail damage one week.
I drove from Carlsbad, NM to Hobbs NM once to pick my wife up at the airport in Hobbs. About 20 miles out of town your could smell rain....it is especially noticeable in the desert because it is so rare. When I turned into the entrance of airport in Hobbs I heard hundreds of car alarms going off. When I got further in I saw about 500 cars in the parking lot, almost everyone of them had no glass left in them and looked like a bomb had gone off. The commuter flight from Houston was taxiing to the gate when that storm hit and the people watched as their cars were completely destroyed right in front of them.....there was chunks of ice on the ground the size of healthy cantaloupes. It looked like it had snowed....the ground had a solid 5-6 inches of ice on it covering almost the entirety of the parking lot and part of the runway and tarmac. That storm had just hit when I arrived....I never saw it, it was blazing hot (at least 105) and not a cloud in the sky...other than the smell of rain you would have never known it had passed through. The plane had landed just minutes, maybe seconds, before that storm hit....surely they did not see it on their radar or it was too late to do anything about it....I don't know that the plane suffered any damage but those cars sure did.....it was an amazing mess for sure...

its very funny that this is being said in a claim thread on comprehensive coverage that he probably pays less than $300 a year for that's going to pay out a multi thousand dollar hail claim among hundreds/thousands of other vehicles in a centralized area.
So how do insurance companies ever make a profit and stay in business?

I’m sorry, maybe you should ask the wave of ignorant people in the thread.

Never, under no circumstance, ever book a flight with a layover at DFW from April to December and from 3 PM until about 7 PM. I have had worse luck with connecting flights in Dallas than all of Florida combined. May just be me but it happens a LOT. I will say there are worse airports to be stranded in....lots of good bars and restaurants at DFW.....
