Excess Reduction
Most insurance policies include an Excess amount - this is the first part of any claim cost that the insured is responsible for. If you want to remove that financial burden, you can take out an additional insurance policy that reduces the accident Excess amount and covers you financially in the event of this situation occurring.
How it works
Your motor policy has, for example, a £500 Excess as standard. You want to reduce that Excess amount to a more affordable figure. You take out an Excess Reduction policy covering £300, which leaves you responsible for the more affordable amount of £200, should a claim occur.
Example:
£500 Excess (standard policy excess) - £300 Excess Reduction policy = £200 Excess remaining
When would I be responsible for paying my policy Excess
- Any incident irrespective of blame
- Your vehicle is damaged by fire
- Your vehicle is stolen and not recovered
Situations that are not covered
- You must report the claim to the 'Excess Reduction' Insurance Company within 30 days, or your claim will not be accepted
- Any additional excesses applied or betterment
- there is no cover for personal effects or audio equipment claims
