iphone8 4th Gear January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 Hi All, Needing advice from you guys. I met an accident last year. It was my fault. The claim amount is around $4k and settled by my current insurer. Good news is my policy has NCD protector. NCD still keep at 50%. Bad news is the premium increase by 30% For 2020, if I switch to other insurer , the NCD will reset to 20%. I need a few years to restore to 50%. For 2020, if I renew insurance with my current insurer, NCD will keep at 50% for current insurer. For 2021, if i purchase new policy from other insurer, the NCD will restore to 50% for other insurer? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ncd is a farce. You can be quoted at 50% but the rate at the current insurer might be higher than the 20% one. In the end it’s the total amount you pay. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctdpong Clutched January 12, 2020 Share January 12, 2020 (edited) NCD protector is BS, force you to stick to current insurance for maintaining 50% NCD, while they sharpened the knife to chop you. You should get a few quotes from others even your NCD is only 20%. Edited January 12, 2020 by Ctdpong 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to assume there is a data bank somewhere to share info. Why would other insurers give u 50% NCD when they didn’t benefit from the NCD protector premium in the first place? Camping here for an answer. Might change my mind on buying NCD protector if proven otherwise. Edited January 13, 2020 by Voodooman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you made a claim, current insurer will revise your NCD from 50% to 20% in the NCD bank. This NCD info is shared among insurers. It will force you to renew with current insurer to maintain NCD 50%. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is about the NCD status for 2021 if I renew my insurance in 2020. If it will change to 50%, I will renew with current insurer. If it will change to 30%, might as well change to other insurer now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewyewkc 5th Gear January 13, 2020 Share January 13, 2020 If you current insurer is "good", then stay with them. If you only use your current insurer because they are "cheap," then change to a cheaper one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you, I would go for the insurer with lower premium with 20% NCD, provided coverage is the same. I'll be kidding myself to pay higher premium just to have 50% NCD. Even if they give me 0% NCD with a very attractive premium, I'll jump for it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic January 13, 2020 Share January 13, 2020 Insurance is all about taking your money and NOT paying out. All kinds of scheme, whether NCD or otherwise is designed to do that. Bcuz when you claimed, they lose money, they have to take it back somehow from you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singapore has NO consumer protection. In other jurisdiction, notably Malaysia & India, culprit insurer has to compensate victim regardless whether insured action is legal or illegal. If i am your fren, i will write a super long email to complain. MAS "victimise" victim for property damage. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
