Motor Insurance
Motor insurance (also known as auto
insurance, car insurance, or vehicle
insurance) is insurance purchased for cars,
trucks, and other vehicles. Its primary use
is to provide protection against losses
incurred as a result of traffic accidents and
against liability that could be incurred in
an accident.
Excess, Compulsory excess, Voluntary
excess
An excess payment, also known as a deductible, is
the fixed contribution you must pay each time your
car is repaired through your car insurance policy.
A compulsory excess is the minimum excess
payment your insurer will accept on your insurance
policy. Minimum excesses vary according to your
personal details, driving record and insurance
company.
In order to reduce your insurance premium, you may
offer to pay a higher excess than the compulsory
excess demanded by your insurance company.
