An Excess is what you may be required to contribute towards the cost of a claim. Your policy includes different types of Excesses, and more than one Excess may be payable by you depending on the circumstances of a claim. These Excesses, and the amount which applies for each Excess, are shown on Your Policy Schedule. Each type of Excess is also described below, as well as in the ‘Qikio Car Insurance Premium, Excess and Claims Guide’.
The various types of Excess applicable to Your policy, and the circumstances under which they are payable, are described below. The total Excess amount payable for each claim under Your policy will be the sum of all Excess types which apply to that particular claim.
The Standard Excess is applicable to each and every claim on Your policy, and will be payable unless the claim is a Recoverable Claim or is waived in accordance with any other terms or conditions of Your policy.
The Age Excess is applicable to claims involving a Driver who was under 25 years of age and driving or in control of the Insured Vehicle at the time of an Accident.
The Licence Excess is applicable involving a Driver who, at the time of an Accident:
- was driving or in control of the Insured Vehicle; and,
- was 25 years of age or older; and,
- had held an Australian driver’s licence for less than two years or was driving under an overseas, probationary or provisional licence.
The Undisclosed Driver Excess is applicable to claims involving a Driver who was under 25 years of age and driving or in control of the Insured Vehicle at the time of an Accident, and was not nominated as a Driver on Your Policy Schedule or renewal offer.
