What’s the price of ceramic tint vs. regular tint?

I’m thinking about getting my car’s windows tinted, but I don’t know if I should get ceramic or regular tint. The deciding factor will probably come down to the cost. What’s the price of ceramic tint vs. regular tint?

Good question! The price of ceramic tint vs. regular tint is usually pretty drastic but ultimately depends on what you mean by “regular” tint. In most cases, you can expect to pay between $400 and $800 for ceramic tint and $100 to $400 for other tint types.
If you’re looking to get your car’s windows tinted, you have roughly five core types of tint options to choose from dyed, hybrid, metallic, carbon, and ceramic.
Dye-based tint is going to be your cheapest option and will probably cost between $100 and $200, depending on the number of windows.
A hybrid tint is usually a combination of dyed and metallic film and is the second-cheapest option and usually costs between $150 and $300.
Metallic and carbon-based tints are similar in price and are the most expensive of the non-ceramic tint options—expect to pay between $300 and $400.
As you can see, ceramic tint has a much higher price tag than any other tint type but provides better UV protection, is non-reflective, keeps the interior of your car cooler, and won’t interfere with electronic signals.
Hopefully, this helps!
Getting ceramic tint on your car windows can be a big expense, but your vehicle’s insurance policy doesn’t have to be. Licensed
