Car Insurance

FatBerry- About Motor Insurance


What is comprehensive motor insurance policy?

This policy protects your car from liabilities to other parties such as death or physical injury, property damage to others, accidental or fire damages to your car, and theft.


How will my Motor Insurance premium be calculated?

What is Motor Insurance Liberalisation?

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.


What is the major exclusions for Comprehensive Motor Insurance?

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.)


What is "NCD"?

"No Claim Bonus" or "NCD" is a special discount given for every claim-free year.

How do I determine the sum insured for my car?

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.


What is Market Value coverage?

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.


What is Agreed Value coverage?

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 .


What's an excess?

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.


What is loading?

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.


How can I get the lowest premium for my car?

Choose the best insurer which fits your insurance premium budget. Insurance companies often offer discounts (with T&C).
