Detailed explanation-2: -An auto insurance deductible is what you pay “out of pocket” on a claim before your insurance covers the rest. Collision, comprehensive, uninsured motorist, and personal injury protection coverages all typically have a car insurance deductible. You typically have a choice between a low and high deductible.

Detailed explanation-3: -A deductible is the amount of money you need to pay before your insurance begins to pay according to the terms of your policy. An out-of-pocket maximum refers to the cap, or limit, on the amount of money you have to pay for covered services per plan year before your insurance covers 100% of the cost of services.
