    What is an excess?

    An excess, or a deductible, is an amount the policy holder must pay if they proceed with making an insurance claim on their insurance policy.

    Not every travel insurance policy has the same excess, different excesses may apply for different events. Some excess limits are adjustable on certain policies.

    When you reduce your excess, you’ll notice that your premium has gone up – that’s because with a reduced excess you will pay less in the event of a claim.
