The excess may either be a set amount or vary depending on the type of gadget and type of claim you make.
For example, some insurers set a higher excess on the latest iPhone compared with a cheaper device, and an accidental damage claim would have a lower excess than a claim for loss or theft.
The amount of excess you pay per claim could be as low as €30 and as high as €175 so always check before you buy.
