With the increasing signs of climate change, it can even hail during hot seasons like summer. And a weather event like this can cause various damage, both material and personal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-26\">At Ralarsa, as a specialist automotive glass workshop, we\u2019ll explain<strong> how to deal with hail on your car and what to do if you\u2019ve suffered damage and <a href=\"..\/..\/..\/es\/servicios\/reparar-luna-coche\">need repairs<\/a><\/strong>. Visit your nearest Ralarsa centre and make sure your vehicle is always in optimal condition. We look forward to seeing you!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ai-optimize-27\">How to protect your car during a hailstorm?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-27\">When driving on the road, we must do so with our full attention. Even more so when faced with unexpected situations like hail. Here are some tips to help you handle a storm in the best possible way:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-28\">First and foremost, if possible,<strong> stop and park<\/strong> until the storm passes. Ideally, find a safe spot, such as a service road or another location that ensures you don\u2019t block other vehicles. This way, by not driving, you minimise the risk of accidents.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-28\">If stopping and parking aren\u2019t possible, you must<strong> drive with extreme caution<\/strong>. This means staying focused and calm. It\u2019s also essential to pay attention to the road surface to spot areas that provide the best grip. Watching the taillights of the cars ahead is also useful for following their path, as well as spotting obstacles or hazards in time to brake gently.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-28\">When a storm arrives, visibility drops drastically. Therefore, it\u2019s important to be seen \u2014<strong>keep your headlights on<\/strong> and, in more extreme conditions, use your rear fog lights. Avoid using high beams, as they can have the opposite effect.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-28\">Other ways to stay visible to other drivers include <strong>increasing the safety distance<\/strong> from the car in front. The more space between you and them, the more time you\u2019ll have to react. To avoid skidding and losing control, brake gently and avoid long, hard braking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"ai-optimize-35\">How to repair your car after a hailstorm?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-35\">If hail caught you while driving and your car suffered damage, there are effective ways to repair it and restore its original appearance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-29\">If your car\u2019s glass is broken, at Ralarsa we specialise in <strong>repairing glass<\/strong> without replacing it. Most insurance policies cover this service with no penalty to the policyholder \u2014 it does not count as a claim. We have a network of over 230 specialised glass repair centres and, if you prefer, we can perform the service at your home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-30\">If repair is not possible, we also offer a <strong>glass replacement service<\/strong>. Additionally, we recommend that before travelling, <a href=\"..\/..\/..\/es\/blog\/puesta-a-punto-del-coche\"><strong>you have your vehicle serviced<\/strong><\/a>, check the lighting system and tyre pressure. You can also opt for a rain\u2011repellent treatment, which makes water slide off the glass, improving visibility and reducing the need to use wipers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ai-optimize-31\">Does insurance cover hail damage to your car?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-31\">The <strong>Insurance Compensation Consortium<\/strong> is the organisation responsible for covering expenses caused by hail damage. This body covers repairs according to the terms of your insurance policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-32\">A basic third\u2011party policy does not cover hail damage, but if you have extended coverage that includes glass and weather damage, the repair will be covered. Fully comprehensive insurance does include this type of repair.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ai-optimize-33\">Drive safely with Ralarsa<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-33\">A summer storm can cause serious damage to your vehicle due to the suddenness with which weather events like hailstorms form and the little reaction time drivers have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-34\">If you\u2019ve encountered a summer storm and your car has been damaged, at Ralarsa we can repair your vehicle after<strong> hail damage<\/strong> at any of our 230 centres throughout Spain. We\u2019re also available for any type of car inspection you need.
