You are probably aware that you have an excess amount on your insurance policy, whether that is your car insurance, home insurance, pet insurance or any other insurance policies. In the event of a claim, your insurance company will ask you to contribute that amount of money towards the overall cost of whatever has gone wrong. Could excess protection help you manage those excesses in event of a claim?

Why might I need excess protection insurance?
You are probably aware that you have excess amounts on your insurance policies and that in the event of a claim you would have to contribute that amount. Excess amounts apply to the majority of insurance policies including home insurance, car insurance and travel insurance but differ between insurers and the types of policies you hold. In most policies, the excess amounts are fixed but in some cases, there are voluntary excess amounts. Having excess protection insurance gives you peace of mind that if you need to make a claim, that amount of money will be reimbursed.
Could it save me money?
Having an excess protection policy could also save you money. You could lower the overall cost of your insurance policy by adding a voluntary excess. As a general rule if an excess payment is quite low then the price of your insurance policy is likely to be high. Increasing the excess could help bring that overall insurance premium down, especially in the case of young drivers and car insurance, and allows you to cover that higher excess amount through this insurance.
