What is an excess?

An excess is a contribution that you pay towards the cost of a claim. However, if the claim is found not to be your fault, it's often possible to get back your excess from the party deemed to be at fault.

If I've been named on another policy, am I entitled to any no claims discount?

ASDA Financial Services, like most insurers, will only reward the actual policy holder with no claims discount.

How do I get about while my car is being repaired?

We will not, however, cover any goods or samples carried in connection with business use.
