Excess is the amount of money you have to pay if an accident is your fault.

Or, there's sometimes an excess on theft/fire too...

Basically, it means you have to pay the first £xxx of any claim...

Each ins company differs, but the excess is basically an amount they set that you have to pay for any claim... ie you pay £350 excess and they pay the rest for the car to be fixed.

I mean the premium seems high. Excess at that age is about right.
