Insurers provide a deductible in a motor insurance so that from every claim this amount is deducted irrespective of the claim quantum. In some policies this is a compulsory deductible depending on the type of car. In some cases a deductible is imposed because of adverse claim experience. In some case the insured is given an option of providing for a deductible. These deductibles are also known as excess - compulsory excess, imposed excess or voluntary excess.

Can you switch your deductible to 100 before repairs then back to 1000 after the work is done?

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
