Your excess is the amount you will contribute to the claim cost. You can find your excess information on your policy wording and schedule. Excess amounts may vary depending on the claim.

You may be required to pay this to Vero by credit card or bank transfer or directly to a repairer or supplier. Alternatively we may deduct the excess from any monies owed to you.

We will advise you about the excess amount and how to pay it during your claim. If you have any queries or concerns our consultants will help you.

Depending on the claim, we may be able to deduct the excess from any monies owed to you.  Contact us to talk through the options.

An excess applies to each and every claim, however we do try to recover costs from the responsible party if their details are known to us. 

If we are successful in the recovery, we will refund any excess paid by you. 

To ensure that we have the best chance of recovery, it is helpful if you can obtain a name, phone number, address and insurance company of the person who has caused the damage.

If we're able to, we can accept your claim when you first notify us, however if we need further information from you, we'll let you know.

You can cancel your claim at any time. You may have to pay an excess if repairs have started. Please contact our Claims team as soon as possible.

Many policies offer a discount if you do not make a claim, therefore if you make a claim you may lose that discount.
