What is my excess?
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 van and your driving experience.
A voluntary excess is on top and is normally set by you when taking out a policy. You’ll have the option of adding or increasing a voluntary excess – which should lower your premium.
You’ll find details about any compulsory or voluntary excesses in your policy document.
For any Third party liability claim, you will need to pay the first £250. If you decide to use a vet not listed on More Than’s referral network, you will need to pay £200.
You’ll find details about any compulsory or voluntary excesses in your policy document.
What is the claims process for More Than?
You can make a claim by completing the online claims form on the More Than website. There is currently no option to make a claim on your More Than pet insurance over the phone.
If you need urgent advice, you can call the free 24-hour vetfone helpline on 0800 072 8190.
You will need to provide the following information:
- Details about the illness or injury
- Copies of your vet’s bills and your pet’s medical notes
It’s vital that you let your insurer know about an incident as soon as possible. Failure to do this could result in a rejected claim later on.
