    It's called a deductible. Often you get to choose the deductible when you buy auto insurance - the lower the deductible the higher the premiums.

    Yes, the deductible is agreed upon when you get the Insurance. A standard amount is $500. That amount must be met by you before the Insurance kicks in. However, the deductible can be anywhere from $100 to $1,000. The more obligation that you have (higher ded.) the less you pay in Insurance.
