Some states have laws that the insurance company, no matter how basic the coverage, must pay for a new windshield. I don't know what Georgia has.
If that is not the case for you, the cheapest route is a junkyard and a used windshield. Many will install it for you or have a contact to do it. Then the commercial installers with a new windshield. You can call around and get estimates from them.
