GLOSSARY
An exclusion is language in the policy that carves something out of coverage. If a loss fits an exclusion, the insurer does not pay for that part, even if other coverages look similar.
Wear and tear, intentional acts, and certain uses of a vehicle (such as some business or racing uses) are common examples. The exact list is in your contract.
EXAMPLE
A policy may cover a crash but exclude damage from using the car as a taxi unless you added the right endorsement.
Exclusions are where people get surprised at claim time. Reading them before you need the policy is cheaper than arguing after.
If something you do every week might be excluded, say so now. An agent can look for an endorsement or a different policy form.
