The rest of the sentence would no doubt help.
Nikki Scott-Despaigne May 17, 2013:
"Combined single limit" cannot work here as CSL is the maximum liability a company will cover arising out of any one single incident, whatever the nature of the damage. Example : in a car accident : loss/damage to property + personal injury could be expressed a single figure. This seems to run contrary to any idea of "minimum" as CSL imposes a maximum.

with a combined sum insured

The French is very wordy and repetitious - for example it says "a minimum of at least", which is a tautology.

I would translate the whole thing, "offrant une protection d’une valeur limite combinée minimum d’au moins," as "with a combined sum insured". The exact meaning of "combinée" is not clear from the context, but I don't think that's your problem.

"...of at least."

Jack: "çombined single limit" sounds like a contradiction in terms to me.
Note from asker:
Thanks Phil. So this has nothing to do with combined single limit?

combined minimum insured value

.. just another way to phrase this, however I do think you need to retain the notions of "minimum" and "insured value"
