Assicurazione.
"previsione di una franchigia in caso di furto, incendio, kasko."

How can there be an excess in the cases of fire theft or comprehensive insurance?
You need to ask the insurers this! However, there is usually a premium reduction if the excess is not obligatory.

Comment: "Thanks! I broke the sentence up to separate excess policy payments from excess claim payment!"

Discussion
One is a policy charge over and above the normal for the "comprehensive" part the other is the excess that you pay on claims for fire and theft!
It shouldn't be in the same sentence then! Hence my confusion!
