What is an Excess?

  • Updated

An excess is the initial amount you pay on a claim, deducted from the payout. For Silver policies, excess applies per person, per claim, with up to two excesses per event. For Gold, Gold Plus, and Platinum, excess applies per person per claim except Personal Liability, where it applies per policy. Your policy documents show your excess amount.

An excess is the amount you must pay towards a claim before your AllClear covers the remaining cost. It is deducted from the total claim payment.

Policy breakdown

  • Silver: The excess applies per insured person, per claim. If you claim under more than one section for the same event, you can pay up to two excesses per person (the highest excesses that apply).
  • Gold / Gold Plus / Platinum: The excess applies per insured person, per claim except for Section 8 (Personal Liability), where the excess applies per policy. If you claim under more than one section for the same event, you can pay up to two excesses per person (the highest excesses that apply).

Where to find your excess amount

Your policy documents (including your schedule) show your chosen level of excess.
