More Than offers a range of additional protection to bolt onto your specific home insurance policy, including the following:
Your insurance excess is the amount of money you will need to pay towards a claim. Your insurer won’t pay out for a claim that costs less than this amount. A compulsory excess amount might vary depending on the age of your van and your driving experience.
You can also decide to pay a voluntary excess when taking out a policy to lower your premium. This voluntary excess is on top of the excess amount set by the insurance company.
For all accidental damage claims to More Than, you will need to pay the first £250.
You’ll find details about any compulsory or voluntary excesses in your policy document.
