What is a Deductible?

A deductible is the amount of money the insured is required to pay before his/her insurance begins covering the costs.

For example, if you were in a car accident and the damage totaled to $8000 and your deductible was $1000, this means that you would pay the first $1000 of the initial costs, and then your insurance company would cover the rest.

A higher deductible means that you have more out of pocket expenses. The benefit of a high deductible plan is that you have lower monthly premiums, however, in the event of an incident, you are responsible for a higher amount of your initial costs.

A low deductible means that you have a higher monthly payment, however, in the event of an incident your initial cost is lower and your insurance company would cover more of the costs.
