The additional insurance reduces excess insurance to zero

My comment:

by the way: it depends whether the text is British English or American English:
BE: "excess" or "excess insurance" for "Selbstbehalt"
AE: "deductible" is the correct term

My comment:

Please check the meaning of "excess" here:

This is exactly what we are talking about! A synonym could be "deductible"; both are nouns, but if you feel more comfortable with it, you can freely use them as adjectives associated to the words "sum" or "cost", depending on your translation approach as well as on the specific point of the text
