DirectAsia.com, any one try ?

Seems like the trend is towards online for car insurance, following Aviva footsteps.

 

Premium are cheaper because they bypass agent

 

NTUC used to be online, but now can key in online but Customer service will get back to you on the quote.

 

the question is, how's their support?

Yes, AVIVA is cheaper, dissappointed with DirectAsia expected it to be cheaper

sorry to hijack TS's thread.. just wanna ask abt policy excess.. is it advisable to opt for own damage access? if i opt for few hundred the premium will be reduced..

notice DirectAsia can pay monthly, no additional cost. seems like they want market share asap.

 

hopefully more company goes online, can compare price easily, good for consumer & transparent.

 

i think the cons is no personnel contact, like a handphone no. to call during emergency.

 

i got a feeling if you call their hotline, either you'll be put on hold or an automated voice asking you to press here & press there

Actually if go thro agents when things happ, they prob wont be doing much also.. Usually send to the workshop and let the workshop settle ya?

[Iiiusion]

Sorry to side track, other than NTUC income, which other insurance co. accept probation drivers?

 

Thanks

Was supposed to re-new with DirectAsia, but went back to HSBC instead.

 

Reason is because they're new in the market and not many people have experience with them. Didn't took the risk in the end.

Just my 2cents worth. Direct Asia have some clauses which are not covered by standard insurance coverage. So that's why you pay cheaper.. But in the event of accident/claim, it might be tough... So read carefully. And I don't recommend it either. At your own risk leh. That's why I don't even consider them..
