What to do during hail

• Pull over to the side of the road. The first task is to remove the car from the road. As you move, you increase your risk of injury. Find a safe spot on the side of the road, away from trees and power lines.
• Shelter! Ideal - parking, gas station or any shed. Didn't have time? Roll the car with the windshield to the hailstones - it is stronger than others.
• Protect yourself. Do not get out of the car. Hail can injure, and large hail can break glass. Wait out the weather inside.

After the hail

• Assess the damage. After stopping, inspect the car. Photograph dents and cracks. The insurance company will need these pictures.
• Contact your insurer. If you have insurance, report the event. The specialist will tell you what to do next.
• Take your time with repairs. Hail damage is subtle and the full extent may show up later. Contact a verified service in 1-2 days.

Remember:

• Do not park under large trees during a thunderstorm.
• Keep blankets or blankets in the car - they can be used to cover fragile parts of the car.
• Check your auto insurance policy regularly. Make sure it covers hail damage.

Calmness and correct actions will help to get out of the situation with minimal losses.
