You need to read your Plan Guide carefully to know all the important events that will not be covered at claim stage.

You won't pay an excess if an insured third party causes an accident. Also, if you're on the Classic or Purple Plans, you won't pay an excess for any theft or weather-related claims.

For full details, download our Excess Annexure

Your excess is the amount you need to pay when you submit a claim. This is made up of your chosen basic excess and any other excess amounts that apply. You could have a voluntary excess, where you've chosen to increase your total excess and so reduce your monthly premium, or it could be a compulsory excess that applies in certain circumstances, e.g. if you've insured your vehicle for the incorrect class of use, you'll need to pay an additional, compulsory excess amount.

You can download more information about excesses. Read this along with your plan schedule to see what applies to you.

If you have a Discovery Card, you can use your Discovery Miles to fund your Discovery Insure excess.
