to insure without franchise


Explanation:
I suppose this means that, in case of an insurance claim, the company will pay the total amount, without deducting a franchise.

COuple of notes on deductibles/franchises/excess whicha re not internchageable.

A deductible is the initial amount of a los paid by the insured party in commercial insurance. It\'s a large excess.

Excess is the sum an insured party agrees to contribute to any claim.

A franchise is quite different. It is a figure below which the insurer does not have to pay the claim. Any loss above the franchise i paid in full.

Cf. Internat Dic of Insurance, Ctd Instit of Bankers, ISBN 1-57958-161-7.

I suppose we could conclude that \"first franc insurance\" is \"cover without any excess\".

When I worked for a shipping mutual we used to say there was no deductible. If Ghoston\'s context is commercial, and you\'re talking big bucks, then it\'s best to talk about deductible.
