Frequently Asked Questions
Car Insurance
FatBerry- About Motor Insurance
Insurance premiums will be based on risk characteristics. The greater the potential risk, the higher the premium, and vice versa.
Motor insurance liberalisation is where the price of car insurance products are no longer controlled by Motor Tariff (a set fixed price list). Instead, individual insurers and takaful operators will determine the pricing.
This policy does not cover certain losses such as:
- Policyholder's death or bodily injury due to a motor accident;
- Policyholder's liability against claims from passengers in your vehicle; and
- Loss, damage or liability arising from an act of nature i.e. flood, storm or landslide.
(Note: This list is non-exhaustive. Please refer to the policy contract for the full list of exclusions under this policy.)
"No Claim Bonus" or "NCD" is a special discount given for every claim-free year.
The NCD quoted is different if there is a claim lodged or if there is an NCD withdrawal to transfer to another car requested by the insured. Alternatively, you can also check your current NCD rate via
https://www.mycarinfo.com.my/NCDCheck/Online.The sum to be insured should be based on the market value of your car. Market Value represents the value of your car with an allowance for wear and tear and/or depreciation.
Market Value is the amount based on the insurance company estimate of what your car is worth in the open market. In the event that anything happens to your car, you can only claim as much as the current market value/worth of your car model at that point of time. Generally Market Value coverage premium tends to be lower.
Agreed Value is the amount which has been agreed to between you and your insurance company. In the event that anything happens to your car, agreed value coverage can certainly provide the compensation you will receive from the insurance company if your car is written off or stolen. Generally Agreed Market coverage premium tends to be higher .
Most policies include an excess, which is the amount to be paid by the policyholder in the event of a claim. There's both a compulsory excess, imposed by the insurer, and a voluntary excess. The phrase 'total excess' combines these two factors and is the amount you pay in the event of a claim.
Loading is an additional amount that is built into the insurance cost. This amount is added to the premium to provide the cover for a ‘risky’ individual. Basically, loading covers the losses that arise from insuring an individual who is prone to a form of risk and the losses for that period are expected to be higher than anticipated.
Choose the best insurer which fits your insurance premium budget. Insurance companies often offer discounts (with T&C).
