A deductible is the amount of money you have to pay before your insurance kicks in. For example: If you were involved in an accident and the damage to your car is worth $2,500. When you have a $1,000 deductible this means you will pay $1,000 and your insurance will pay $1,500. With XShield you pay $0.

With car insurance, every time you submit a claim you will have to pay a deductible. every time! It doesn't matter how many claims you submit a year or in the lifetime of your policy.

Whenever you file a claim with your auto insurance. When your insurance pay - you pay.

Most people tend to choose a deductible that is somewhere in the middle, the reason is that the lower your deductible - the higher your premiums, and vise versa, the higher your deductible - the lower your premiums. XShield provides you with deductible coverage, so in case of a claim you will not pay your deductible, this provides an easy solution to this question - If your deductible is covered, you can afford to get a plan with high a higher deductible and pay less premiums! Save money on your insurance payments, and in case of a claim - your deductible is 100% covered by XShield!

Well, since XShield covers 100% of your deductible, it is great because you will save money on your auto insurance premiums.

Your deductible amount can be found on your insurance policy documents or on your proof of insurance card. If you cannot find your deductible amount, simply call your insurance company or agent and ask what your current deductible amount is.
