Italian term

kasko

Non-PRO Italian to English Law/Patents Automotive / Cars & Trucks Assicurazione flotta aziendale
Assicurazione.

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

Ma kasko non è l'agevolazione che included furto e incendio e spesso anche danni cristalli ecc. dentro la polizza.
Cosa centra con una franchigia per danno?

It's what I thought but it doesn't flow! How can there be an excess in the cases of fire theft or comprehensive insurance?

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!

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.
