DEDUCTIBLES HAVE TO BE MET
A deductible is the money that the customer will pay out of pocket toward an accident or a claim before the insurance company will cover the rest of the claim amount. For example, if the claim amount is $2000 to repair the vehicle, the customer will pay the deductible amount listed on the policy. In most cases, this amount can be anywhere between $500 to $2000. If the customer has $500 deductibles, he will pay that amount towards the repair; and the insurance company will pay the remaining $1500.
