When do I have to pay the excess?

You would only need to pay an excess if you have to make a claim. 

The amount of excess you need to pay will depend on the excess amount that you selected at the time of policy purchase, and will usually be deducted from your claim payout.

If you paid an additional premium at the time of policy purchase to reduce your Standard excess to $0, then you do not have to pay an excess when you make a claim.

Already Overseas policies:

The excess for Already Overseas policies is $500. It is NOT possible to reduce or remove this excess.
