Understanding excess in car insurance
What is a car insurance excess?
An excess is the amount of money you pay or contribute towards a claim you’ve made. Depending on the type of car insurance policy you have, there is a basic excess, and there might be other additional excess(s) listed on your Certificate of Insurance.
An excess helps contribute towards the cost of repairing, fixing, or replacing an insured vehicle. The cost of your excess may vary depending on the type of car you drive, your age, your driving experience, and your premium.
