What is Excess?
Excess - this is the amount you will have to pay towards the cost of each claim under the Policy after the application of the Policy limits.
For example, if your excess level is £100 and your bill for medical treatment is £300, you’ll get £200 as a pay-out. If your excess level is £100 and your bill is £90, you won’t get any pay-outs at all.
Excess levels are applied separately for each claim. If you claim for medical expenses, loss of deposit and travel delay, the excess amount will be deducted from each accident amount. Example: if you claim for £400, £500 and £100, you will be paid £300, £400 and £0 accordingly (assuming that your excess level is £100).
All Insurance Policies provide certain excess levels. The higher the excess levels, the less risks are covered. It is one of the main factors of forming Travel Insurance Policy cost.
Why Low Excess is Important?
If your policy provides high excess levels, its cost will be lower than the cost of a similar policy with low excesses. In other words the larger the excesses are the cheaper is the policy… and of course the less risks and accidents are covered.
The higher the excess level is the cheaper is the policy.
Keep in mind that some policies provide excess levels for some items and nil excess levels to others. It is very important to know whether your travel insurance policy includes no excesses.

By removing the Excess, this amount will be waived. Thus you will be covered for a full amount of accident notwithstanding the time or amount of the accident.
