What’s the average car bumper replacement cost?

Even the best drivers make mistakes—that’s one reason we have insurance! The average cost for replacing a bumper is anywhere between $800 and $2,000.

So, if the replacement cost is only slightly more than your deductible, you’re right to consider paying for the cost out-of-pocket. If you do file a claim, keep in mind that it will be on your insurance record and may result in higher premiums down the line.
