Othello Supersonic October 25, 2017 Share October 25, 2017 Ah, thanks. Worried about claims turnaround etc, but at approximately 200 cheaper than my current insurer the deal is pretty good. They also offer on site accident support where needed, like income. Stuff like windscreen excess waiver if you have a camera is also in. Not bad .... Do they have online quote ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cokiee 1st Gear October 25, 2017 Share October 25, 2017 No unfortunately. I got their quote from one of the brokers featured here. Can get the POC to get in touch with you if you so prefer. I read the policy document and it seems like it's fine. Gonna ask a few more questions to the broker and if satisfactory I'll go ahead with it.

Cokiee 1st Gear October 26, 2017 Share October 26, 2017 Purchased the insurance from EQ insurance in the end, at $832. My NCD's 40% so if yours is more you could probably get it cheaper. Broker said they applied a discount also, so not sure how much that was. I wanted to buy a NCD protector for c.10% of the cost, but was advised against it by the broker, citing:- NCD only works if you're keeping to the same company. If you have a claims event, your NCD might be protected but the base premium will definitely go up - no difference in the end. The gist of the argument is might as well keep looking around every year for the best deal, which was a fair statement, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo72 6th Gear October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 Actually, I have a question for discussion: recently cancelled my car insurance on my old car and was advised that they would refund me only 80% of whatever is unused. That seems rather unfair as I have no past claims (50% NCD) and if we were required to purchase a full year insurance despite only needing 6 months - doesn't that seem a bit too much? Can someone verify this? If your car is going to be scrap in 6 months, you can purchase insurance just for the 6 months, don't need to purchase a year. In actual fact, if you have purchase a used car, most of the time if the insurance was purchased through the dealers, the insurance will not be inline with the road tax expire date, But on the 2nd year of owning that car, you can actually purchase insurance to make it inline with the road tax expire date and that will make your life simpler. 2 years ago, my new car insurance was abit srew up that the expire date is not inline with the road tax expire date which I managed to get the agent to update the insurance company with the Vehicle Log card and get the insurance certificate to be updated with the date inline with the road tax expire date without paying any additional cost. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without any additional cost? Was the date of the road tax expiry earlier than that of the original term of insurance you paid for? If it's the other way, it sounds like the broker/insurer absorbed the difference, which is nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo72 6th Gear October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 (edited) Without any additional cost? Was the date of the road tax expiry earlier than that of the original term of insurance you paid for? If it's the other way, it sounds like the broker/insurer absorbed the difference, which is nice. The starting date stated on the original certificate was few days earlier than the new car registration date. Thus the insurance company adjust the starting date and expire date to match the registration date stated on the Vehicle Log Card as the car cannot be on the road without being register. That's one of the minor issue if you purchase from the PI. Edited October 27, 2017 by Leo72 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cokiee 1st Gear October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 Ah that's nice. Essentially they extended the insurance coverage by the few days and absorbed the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple-Tree 6th Gear October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 My insurance is Income, I actually called their customer service hotline. They provided info such as Counter party claim amount and also what Income intend to pay too. I called as my insurance is due and the case has been pending for almost 1 year and to also inform them if they have may an error as the NCD is still 50% and the premium even cheaper than previous year. It turn out that they are fighting the case in courts and they released me from all liability lor. Does anyone has any idea on how to check on how much is the previous accident claim amount?

AFWE69 2nd Gear October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 I use AXA and Liberty Insurance. AXA pricings are fairly inconsistent depending on which brokers/car dealers you are dealing with, even calling in to the co, the pricings are inconsistent, which is mad IMHO. Liberty is not well known but the services are top notch, one of the best encounters I ever had with insurance co, extremely efficient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahbengdriver 6th Gear November 1, 2017 Share November 1, 2017 So much radio advert by FWD Insurance lately. Are they as good as claimed? Do they insure high end performance cars like they claim, with the least penalization from past accidents, perpetual NCB protection, blah blah blah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google shows NTUC has $70 per month...called them but they need to check then revert...so thought I put out the question here first. Thanks in advance. your current insurer should be able to provide you the extension. if not, for new business, other insurers generally dont do short period coverage, but depends on the reason. outright, as you mentioned, most likely budget insurers and NTUC will allow. other than tally your road tax or expiry of COE, other reasons to consider for short term coverage is your NCD. If you do not yet have 50%, to gain the next 10%, you need one year coverage. Hope this helps. PM if you need more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrino Supercharged November 8, 2017 Share November 8, 2017 Time to reknew car insurance. With AIGfrom KIA. They have a low mileage discount. NTUC have a low mileage discount also but if I read things correctly you have to have some sort of gadget installed in your car to check low mileage. Anyone had this gadget installed??? If so any comment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
