Motor Excess Protection
Turn excess risk into a value add that keeps customers coming back
Motor Excess Protection reimburses the excess your customers pay when they make a claim, across cars, taxis, commercial vehicles, and more. One simple product, one less cost for your customers to worry about, and a retention-driving add-on for your proposition.
Protect Customers From the Cost of Their Excess
When a customer claims on their motor policy, they still have to pay the excess, sometimes a significant amount, before their insurer settles the rest. Motor Excess Protection covers that cost, reimbursing the excess paid up to the limit selected, so a claim doesn't leave the customer out of pocket on top of everything else. With excess protection in place, customers can choose to raise the excess on their main policy, potentially lowering their premium, while still knowing they're covered if they need to claim.
-
Any Number of Claims
Customers can claim as many times as they need to within their policy year, provided the total paid out doesn't exceed their limit of cover.
-
All Common Incident Types Covered
Excess is reimbursed on claims for accidental damage, fire, flood, theft, and attempted theft, so customers are covered whatever the circumstances of their claim.
-
Excess Paid in Full, Up to the Limit
Customers are reimbursed either the full value of their excess or their selected limit of cover, whichever is lower.
-
Fits Alongside Any Motor Policy
This is a standalone policy that works alongside the customer's existing motor insurance, whoever they're insured with, with no changes needed to their main policy.
What Counts as a Valid Claim
Motor Excess Protection reimburses the excess across the claim types that matter most to your customers.
-
Accidental Damage
Cover for the excess paid following a claim for accidental damage to the insured vehicle.
-
Fire
Cover for the excess paid where a claim arises from fire damage to the vehicle.
-
Theft
Cover for the excess paid where the vehicle is stolen and a claim is made on the main motor policy.
-
Attempted Theft
Cover for the excess paid where an attempted theft results in damage to the vehicle and a valid claim.
A Wide Range of Vehicles Covered
Motor Excess Protection isn’t limited to standard private cars. It’s built to flex across the vehicle types your customers actually drive:
- Private cars
- Taxis
- Commercial vehicles
- Motorcycles
- Family fleet (up to 5 cars)
Whatever mix of vehicles sits within your book, Motor Excess Protection can be configured to cover it.
