We often see this term on our car insurance and for some who got their first insurance for their iPhone, a few were surprised to see that we also have an excess fee. The rationale is quite the same; when you want to claim for your policy, whether for loss, theft or accidental damages, you first must pay the excess fee before the insurance company will pay or send you a replacement phone.
This is a simple way to effectively screen out insurance frauds and protect the company from financial loss. In simple terms, imagine the insurance company having to pay for each and every single policy at a certain time, there is a possibility that it will experience a financial turmoil. The excess fee is a self preserving guideline in the insurance industry to protect the provider and the client as well.
When getting comprehensive iPhone insurance, there will also be an excess fee if you will need to make a claim. But on a positive note, the excess is still very minimal compared the amount you will have to shell out if you lose or accidentally damage your iPhone without insurance. For only £5.99, you can already avail iPhone insurance that will insure your Apple iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 from theft, accidental damages, fraudulent calls and with an optional loss cover as well.
