I tend to pay cash for anything under $2k just to keep it entirely off of insurance as they'll almost always find a way to get their money back. I had two no fault accidents on my insurance when I moved to TX from CA and they dropped my coverage because they were about $60k, even though I wasn't at fault for either.
Pothole, wheels and tires damage. Around $2k claim, insurance paid out $1k
My understanding of these is that they're paid out of your coverage, but free from a deductible, yet still give them the opportunity to raise your rates.
