1 deductible: In insurance policy terms, a "deductible" is the amount of money which the insured party must pay before the insurance company's own coverage begins. For example: If an insurance policy has a $500 deductible and the repairs to a vehicle cost $1,500, the insured person must pay the first $500 and the insurance company will pay the remaining $1,000. In British English this term is called an "excess".
2 premium: An "(insurance) premium" refers to a rate of payment for insurance, or the payment for insurance coverage (either in one sum or by installments). Example: My car insurance premium is low because I've never had an accident. In the email we read that Delavigne's "Total 12-month policy premium" will be "$66,418.30".
