The voluntary excess for a Comprehensive policy which applies in addition to this is up to you and can either be £0, £150, £250, £350, £450, £550, £650, £800 or £1050 (you can reduce your premium by agreeing to pay a higher excess, or opt for a lower excess and pay for a higher premium).These apply if your car is lost, stolen or damaged no matter how the loss or damage happened
This is also an additional young driver excess of £200 for drivers aged between 21 and 24 and £300 for those 17 to 20.
If your windscreen is damaged you’ll pay the first £25 towards repairs or £150 towards a replacement if you used an approved repairer.
If you have damaged glass that forms part of your car’s roof (including sunroofs and panoramic roofs), your vehicle excess will be payable.
The compulsory excess for Third Party Fire and Theft policies is a minimum of £250. There’s no voluntary excess available for this type of cover.
