Your insurance excess is the amount of money you will need to pay towards a claim. Your insurer won’t pay out for a claim that costs less than this amount. A compulsory excess amount might vary depending on the age of your car and your driving experience.
A voluntary excess is on top of the compulsory excess and is normally set by you when taking out a policy. You may have the option of adding or increasing a voluntary excess, which should lower your breakdown cover premium.
You’ll find details about any compulsory or voluntary excesses in your policy document.
If you have an accident, you can call Rescuemycar.com on its emergency helpline on 01423 535 795.
