Lexus Excess Protection is typically available to customers who purchase a new or used Lexus vehicle from an authorised Lexus dealership. This is also available to customers who have completed a scheduled full or interim service in line with their vehicle’s recommended service schedule at a Lexus centre, no more than 60 days prior to this policy starting.
Excess Protection is tied to the vehicle and is not transferable to a new owner. It remains active whilst you are the owner of the covered vehicle or until the expiration date of the policy, whichever is soonest.
Excess Protection is provided at no extra cost to you as a valued Lexus customer.
In some circumstances, your insurer may increase the excess you have to pay in the event of a claim if you choose Lexus to repair your vehicle.
Consider the financial benefits of adjusting your voluntary excess when reviewing your insurance policy. However, it's essential to carefully evaluate the advantages and disadvantages to determine if this adjustment aligns with your needs.
Increasing your voluntary excess can lead to a reduction in your insurance premium—the amount you pay for your insurance policy. This occurs because the insurer's potential payout decreases in the event of a claim.
Nevertheless, it's crucial to assess your overall insurance excess and ensure it's at a manageable level in case you need to file a claim. Avoid raising your voluntary excess beyond what you can comfortably afford to contribute towards a claim.
Insurance companies operate in varying ways. You might be required to make an up-front payment at the beginning of the claims process, or the invoice could arrive when the claim is being processed for payment. With our Excess Protection Product, we will reimburse you up to £350* of this cost once the claim has been settled.
Each insurance provider will have a different approach to this, and they could adjust the amount they quote for your excess or premium when you renew your policy. This decision can be influenced by various factors related to your claim history and the overall risk assessment by your insurer.
