That is, the excess policy provides additional indemnity benefits if or when the primary policy limits are exhausted.

Can you switch your deductible from 500 too 100 Then back to 1000 after the repairs are done?
I guess this refers to what is know in the UK as 'voluntary excess' on a motor insurance policy? Some insurers may allow you to change your excess at any time during the term of the policy. If you reduce your excess then you are likely to have to pay an 'additional premium' as you will probably have been given a discount when you took the insurance policy out for choosing a higher excess. It is likely, however, to raise suspicion with your insurer if you do this then immediately make a claim or it is discovered that an accident actually took place prior to you requesting a change in your excess. You should carefully consider what excess you choose when you take out your policy. If you want to take a chance and choose a higher excess at the start to obtain a discount on your policy then you should be prepared to pay this higher excess in the event of a claim. CQ

Is this what we would call in the UK 'voluntary excess' on an insurance policy? Your insurance company may allow you to change your excess mid-term but you will probably have to pay an 'additional premium' as you will most likely have received a discount when you took the insurance policy out for choosing a higher excess in the first place. Your insurer may get suspicious if you do this then immediately make a claim or they discover that an accident for which you are making a claim took place before you requested a change in your excess. This may result in your claim being rejected. Carefully consider the excess or deductible when you choose your insurance policy. If you choose a higher excess at the start to obtain a discount on your policy then you should be prepared to pay out in the event of a claim. CQ
