Third party

For those who just want the bare legal minimum to start driving, this covers injury, death and damage to others and their property. However, damage to your own car isn't covered.

Third party, fire and theft

As the name suggests, this includes everything from Third Party insurance, but you also get the benefit of coverage in the event of a fire or theft of your car.

Comprehensive

Repairs and part replacements to your car caused by accident damage are covered, on top of medical expenses incurred from injury. Prior benefits from Third Party, Fire and Theft are also included. Depending on your provider, services such as towing may also be thrown in.

How long in advance should I be searching for my motor or car insurance renewal?

Consider searching for and renewing your car insurance tentatively 1 month in advance so that you have ample time to also renew your Road Tax and car inspection if you need to.

What are the factors affecting my premium?

There are many contributing factors to the cause of your car insurance premium, such as:

• Third party risk factor
• Driver's profile e.g. age experience, prior claims, etc.
• Model of the vehicle

Why is it that my renewal premium is higher even though I did not make any claim?

Insurance is based on the concept of pooling of risks. If the overall claims experience is bad, premiums will be increased across the board for all motorists irrespective of whether a claim is made or not. However, the premium increase borne by those with a clean driving record will be lower than those with accident claims because the latter will have an additional loading on the claim and thereby pay even more.

What's the difference between authorised scheme or any workshop scheme?

In Singapore, there are two types of motor insurance schemes. Authorised Workshop or Any Workshop. It is easy to understand that the authorised workshop scheme has lower premiums because the insurer has control of the repair cost. Most of the motor cars are covered under authorised scheme in Singapore. People usually opt for any workshop scheme because they have super model cars which can only be fixed in designated workshops.

Why am I paying a higher premium when the market value of my vehicle is depreciating?

The premium for your motor insurance policy is calculated using certain risk factors such as vehicle model, capacity, driver's age among other factors.

Market value of the vehicle is not a direct risk factor as it does not influence the claims received from third parties for property damage and injuries. Further, the repair costs for motor vehicles has increased over the years. Hence, there is a need to increase the premium to ensure a sustainable business.
