In auto insurance, a lower deductible means the customer _____.

A deductible is the amount the customer pays out of pocket before insurance helps cover a claim. With a lower deductible, the customer pays less if an accident occurs, but the insurer takes on more of the cost, which usually means a higher monthly premium. So the correct choice is “has a higher monthly bill, but pays less out of pocket in the event of an accident.”
