Why can't I choose to insure my vehicle at any value I think appropriate? When I make a claim, I expect the insurance company to pay me the amount I have insured my vehicle for.

It is essential to insure your vehicle at the market value and not any value you choose to avoid over-insurance or under-insurance.

Over-insurance occurs when you insure your vehicle for a sum higher than the market value. In the event of a claim, the insurance company will only pay you the market value of your vehicle. If you over-insure your vehicle, you risk having paid higher but unnecessary premiums.

Under-insurance occurs when your sum insured of your vehicle is lower than the market value. In the event of a claim, the insurance company will only pay the cost up to the total sum insured and you will have to pay for the difference of the total repair cost yourself. E.g. if you insured your vehicle up to 80% of the market value, the insurance company will only pay 80% of the total repair cost. You will need to settle the remaining 20% of the cost yourself.

Can I only insure my vehicle for Third Party?

Third Party coverage is limited to death, injury or damage of property to the third party involved in an accident involving your car. Tune Protect Motor Easy is a comprehensive policy that covers a host of benefits, including third party coverage, which cannot be separated.

Why is the NCD quoted is different from my record?

In an accident, when I am not at fault, how can I claim against the party at fault?

You can choose to submit your third party claim to the person’s insurance company if you plan to claim for the party at fault or, if you have a comprehensive policy, you may submit your third party claim to your own insurance company. If you submit the claim to your own insurance company, you will not lose your NCD and the claim will be processed more speedily as the company already has your background information.

Even though my vehicle has been repaired after an accident, its value has gone down. Why can't I claim for depreciation since the accident was not my fault?

This is in line with the principle of indemnity. Your insurance policy will indemnify your loss/damage by putting you back to the similar position just before the accident. You therefore cannot 'profit' from an insurance settlement. When the damaged vehicle is repaired, it is restored to the condition before the accident. Hence, the issue of depreciation should not arise.

If I am involved in a chain collision accident, who should I claim against?

In a chain collision accident, if there is damage to your vehicle (the procedure is not applicable for deaths and bodily injuries) you should claim from the insurance company of the vehicle immediately behind you and you will not lose your NCD. If your vehicle is the last vehicle in the chain collision, you will not be able to make any claim against the other vehicles involved. However, you can make a claim to cover your own vehicle damage from your insurance company if you have a comprehensive cover.

When I made a claim to the insurance company of the vehicle that knocked into my vehicle, the company refused to pay my claim because its policy owner did not make any report. Why is this so?

An insurance policy is a contract between the insurance company and the policy owner. If the policy owner fails to report to the insurance company about an accident, the insurance company will not be able to entertain the claim made by any third party as the company has no contract with the third party.

Therefore, the third party insurance company will only be responsible for handling your claim if its policy owner has requested it to step into his/her shoes for the loss or damage caused by him/her in the accident.

However, for the convenience of the general public, insurance companies have agreed to entertain third party claims even though their policy owners fail to make a report. You need to submit the claim for the consideration of the insurance company consideration within 14 days from the date of the accident, together with the following documents:

a) a copy of your police report;
b) a copy of the policy owner's police report, if available;
c) if (b) is not available, your Statutory Declaration stating the circumstances of the accident and identifying the policy owner's vehicle as a party to the accident; and
d) a copy of the police investigation report or a notification by the police as evidence that the insurance company's policy owner was at fault.

In the event that my vehicle was stolen, why does the insurance company need such a long time to settle my claim?

The insurance company will normally pay a theft claim within six months or when the police investigations have been completed, whichever is earlier. The time is required for the insurance company as well as the police to conduct their investigations and for the possibility of vehicle recovery during the investigation.

Can the insurance company repudiate claims under the following scenarios?

(a) A car lent to a friend who subsequently 'disappeared' with the car.

(b) A car that is advertised for sale and one of the potential buyers takes the car for a test drive and fails to return it.
Such scenarios are not claimable as these cases are deemed to be acts of criminal breach of trust and cheating. There is also negligence on the part of the car owner in not exercising due care as to whom the property has been entrusted to.

Loss or damage arising from such cases are not payable as these are excluded under the Private Car Insurance Policy.
