- What is CLAIMYEXCESS cover?
- CLAIMYEXCESS cover works alongside your lead/main Insurance related to your Business/ Home/ Vehicle(s) or on the Finance taken against the vehicle. When a claim happens and your lead/main insurance Company settles the claim after deducting an Excess ( which normally can go upto $1000), then at our discretion the CLAIMYEXCESS cover reimburses the deducted excess - up to the amount you selected for the same risk ( as stated in the Confirmation of Cover(CoC) issued by us).
Typically, general insurance policies with higher excesses will have lower premiums. When purchased strategically, CLAIMYEXCESS can help you reduce high premiums and burdensome excess payments without sacrificing the main cover.
- How do I make a Claim?
- First you make a claim on your lead/main insurance Company and pay your excess up front, and then you notify CLAIMYEXCESS with a documentary proof to get your excess reimbursed.
Go to www.CLAIMYEXCESS.com , complete the Reimbursement form with the proof of discharge showing the Excess deducted by your main/lead insurance Company to validate your claim with us. It is that simple.
