It's also nice that the bezel on the new Canon 18-55mm fits what one saves the renewed buying a lens hood! Actually it would even fit on the 28-xx with 58mm diameter! However, it turns me the question as to why this useful little plastic thing is not by default included in the kit. But it's not an isolated case, even when other sub-1000 lenses you have to spend again the 15 to 30 euros. Positives: Easy (dis) assembly!
Conclusion:
(If the price is not justified) unfortunately not included, but very useful and affordable!
