Policyholder (Male)

Hi Ava, thanks for taking my call. I'm wondering about my recent incident. My car was damaged by a hailstorm. I recall my comprehensive policy covers this, but I'm a bit hazy on the details, especially the deductible.

嗨，艾娃，谢谢你接我的电话。我想了解一下我最近的事件。我的车被冰雹损坏了。我记得我的综合保险涵盖了这种情况，但我在细节上有点模糊，特别是免赔额。

Insurance Agent (Female)

Of course, Brian. Let's pull up your policy. Yes, your comprehensive coverage, Policy ID 789123, does cover hail damage. Your deductible for comprehensive claims is $500. So, for any repairs, you'd be responsible for the first $500.

当然，布赖恩。我们来查一下你的保单。是的，你的综合保险，保单号789123，确实涵盖冰雹损害。你的综合索赔免赔额是500美元。所以，对于任何维修，你将承担前500美元。

Policyholder (Male)

Okay, $500, got it. And what about the limits? Is there a maximum amount the policy will pay out for this type of damage?

好的，500美元，明白了。那限额呢？这种类型的损害，保单是否有最高赔付金额？

Insurance Agent (Female)

For comprehensive claims, your policy covers up to the actual cash value of the vehicle at the time of the loss, minus your deductible. There isn't a specific dollar limit for hail damage itself, as long as it's within the vehicle's ACV.

对于综合索赔，你的保单涵盖车辆在损失发生时的实际现金价值，减去你的免赔额。冰雹损害本身没有具体的金额限制，只要它在车辆的实际现金价值以内。

Policyholder (Male)

That's good to know. I’m also recalling something about exclusions. Are there any common exclusions for hail damage that I should be aware of, just in case?

这很好。我还记得一些关于除外责任的东西。是否有任何常见的冰雹损害除外责任是我应该知道的，以防万一？

Insurance Agent (Female)

Typically, for comprehensive coverage, very few things are excluded regarding natural disasters like hail. The main exclusions would involve intentional damage, or if the vehicle was already extensively damaged beyond repair before the hail event. Based on your records, you should be fine.

通常，对于综合保险，很少有与冰雹等自然灾害相关的除外责任。主要的除外责任包括故意损坏，或者如果车辆在冰雹事件发生前已经严重损坏到无法修复。根据你的记录，你应该是没问题的。

Policyholder (Male)

Fantastic. So the process would be to get an estimate for the repairs, and then that's submitted to you, correct?

太棒了。那么流程是获得维修估价，然后提交给你们，对吗？

Insurance Agent (Female)

That's correct. Once you have an estimate, you can submit it through our online portal or email it to me directly. We’ll then review it, and if it aligns with our assessment, we'll process the claim. We can also recommend a few trusted repair shops if you need suggestions.

没错。一旦你有了估价，你可以通过我们的在线门户提交，或者直接通过电子邮件发送给我。我们会进行审查，如果与我们的评估一致，我们将处理索赔。如果你需要建议，我们也可以推荐一些值得信赖的修理店。

Policyholder (Male)

That's very helpful, Ava. Thanks for clarifying everything. I feel much better about navigating this now.

艾娃，这很有帮助。谢谢你澄清所有事情。我现在对处理这件事感觉好多了。

Insurance Agent (Female)

You're most welcome, Brian. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions as you go through the repair process. We're here to help.

不客气，布赖恩。在维修过程中，如果你有任何其他问题，请随时联系。我们在这里提供帮助。
