A deductible is the amount of covered expenses, per claim OR per policy (depending on your insurance terms), that you are responsible for paying before any remaining covered expenses are paid under your policy. A deductible can help in reducing the overall cost of the insurance premium.
Depending on the insurance company you choose, and the terms set forth in the policy, this can vary. However, in most cases, the deductible is paid each time you have a claim. For example, if you have a $250 deductible, and you put out a claim for your insurance 3 times, you will have to pay up front the $250 three times before any additional amounts are covered by your insurance provider.
It's super simple! Depending on the insurance provider, you can simply download the claim form, fill it out and email or mail it to them depending on the provider's instructions found in their Policy Wording's document. Or you can put in a call to their Claims Support Team. Need help? Feel free to chat or call us, and we can point you in the right direction and provide support.

I helped my mom in getting insurance for a super visa since English isn’t her first language. Let me tell you, it was a real load off my mind! Instainsure made it real easy! The customer rep was very patient with me when I asked her to go through the policy. Thank you so much!
I’ve travelled a lot so I’ve had my fair share of problems when getting insurance. But with Insta Insure, it was fast and simple! Couldn’t ask for better!
I was looking for a sight that would give me little time to spend on comparing insurance. Happy that this sight is so easy! Customer service was friendly too. I’m going to use again for sure!
I filled out the Instant Quote, but I didn’t know what to put for the coverage amount or the deductibles so I spoke with customer service and Christina was kind when she explained everything. She even helped me choose a policy that fit my budget! I am very grateful to her.
