Why am I being charged with multiple excess?
The policy excess applies to non-recoverable claims, which you can read more about in your policy schedule. If you report multiple claims at the same time in which your vehicle was at fault or the third party is unknown, a separate excess will be applied for each claim.
However, in certain scenarios multiple excess deductibles can be charged on the same claim depending on the car insurance policy terms & conditions and the nature of the damages reported.
An additional excess may apply in one of the following scenarios:
-
Your policy includes a clause for additional excess deductible in case of off-road
-
The driver at the time of the accident was under the age of 25
-
Multiple damages due to unknown third parties, each individual damage reported may be subject a separate excess
-
For vehicles more than one year old, if the repair requires parts replacement you are entitled to reclaimed parts. However, should you request brand new parts a depreciation of 5% for ever year up to a maximum of 30% of the cost of the parts will be applicable.
