How Much Does Window Tinting Cost?

The cost to get your car windows tinted will be between $195 to $895 depending on factors such as the type of window tint, the type of vehicle, the size of your windows, their location and the complexity of the installation. Oversized or commercial vehicles may cost more than a standard sized passenger vehicle as they are larger and require more material and time to tint.

This detailed guide will help you unravel the complexities around the cost of window tinting, the influential factors, and the various types of window tints available. Additionally, we’ll delve into the benefits of window tinting and how it can make a positive impact on your privacy, comfort, and energy efficiency.

There are different types of window tints, each with its unique materials and technologies, leading to varying price points.

1. Invisible Tint: Our exclusive invisible tint range is a clear 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) ceramic film capable of stopping up to 96% of IR heat and 99% of UV rays.
2. Carbon Tint: An entry-level carbon film, balancing cost and performance with good heat rejection and no signal interference.
3. Ceramic Tint: Our high-end ceramic tint provides superior clarity, heat and UV rejection properties, leading to a more expensive price tag.
4. Coloured Tint: Our exclusive coloured window tint range is available for those customers that really want to make a statement. Perfect for much-loved hot rods and custom cars

The size of the windows being tinted directly affects the amount of material needed, thereby impacting the overall cost. Larger windows will require more tinting film and longer installation time.

Installation difficulty can fluctuate based on the window’s location. High, hard-to-reach windows or those with complex shapes can add to the cost due to increased labour and time required.

The intricacies involved in window tinting also contribute to the cost. Complexities could include old window film removal, surface preparation, or the window’s curvature for vehicle tints.

While understanding the cost factors is crucial, let’s delve into the specific prices of the different types of window tinting, offering a comprehensive overview to inform your decision.
