What does 0 per cent compulsory excess mean?

I am looking for car insurance and I'm totally confused with the different policy offers, particularly with regard to 0 per cent compulsory excess. Help please.

0 per cent compulsory excess means you don't have to pay part of the cost of a claim. For example a £250 compulsory excess would mean you have to pay the first £250.
