An excess is the amount of money you pay towards a claim under your policy. The two main types of excess are:

Compulsory excess – this must be paid and relates to claims for accidental or malicious damage, accidental damage, vandalism, fire and theft.

Voluntary excess – this is paid on top of a compulsory excess. You can select a voluntary excess when setting up your policy, which may help to reduce the premium.

Our Help Centre contains lots of useful and practical support when it comes to car insurance - including what to do in the event of an accident or a breakdown.
