hi all,

i need some advise. i want to renew my insurance.. i own a 1.3 myvi ezi manufactured in 2007. previously i was insured by kurnia. tomorrow my road tax will expired. i did check with myeg.com.my and interested to renew online. unfortunately they did not provide services from kurnia. so i thought, i just need to change to takaful. after spoke to the person in charge, they quote my insurance for rm36k. but it sounds too low for me. i ring the kurnia insurance agent, and he quoted for 40k. my question is:-

1. any disadvantages should i expect by changing to another insurer?
2. why the was a 4k gap between those two insurer?

thanks in advance..

Normally ppl would insure their car value. Just check your previous insured value. If its 40k, and its one year now
so estimate your car depreciates by 10%, then 36k should be ok.

What is your previous insured value?

note: it's save to assume car value depreciates 10% a year for the first 3 years,

if u insured RM40k, definitely u have to pay more for the RM36k insurance...
u can request kurnia to insure RM40k if u they allowed to...
hence it depend on the people to justify your current car value...
normal lo... myvi only mah...  tongue.gif
SE (auto) = EZi, no doubt...

the insurance amount u paid = the total amount you covered for ur car... if upgrade from premium to SE, total we have to top up was RM3700... but insurance wont cover the RM3700... your SE will cover as premium's value...

Agree. Bodykits and other mods to the car do not enhance the base value of the car, unless its a different model recognize by the manufacturer.

that totally is a trap..assume market value for my SE is 49k.i covered for 49k.Insurance company still accept the coverage but (touch wood) when come to claim. it will depends on the market value for the make again. the make is EZI instead of SE. so, they will take 47k instead of 49k. then, what is the point im paying extra money to cover more?what a such stupid rules..

That is half correct, when an accident happen and at the time your car value drops to 47k and u have covered 49k, the insurance pays 100% the coverage.

Vice versa, if you insured only 47k, and at the point of accident your car value did not drop but stay at 49 - or 48 k. The insurance company may consider

that you have under insured your car, hence they may only pay 80 - 90% of the coverage.

Maybe different insurance company have different calculation.
Well, as i know my insurance when come to claim will take the market value instead of amount i covered.
May i know which insurance company u mentioned above are using sum assure at the 1st place when come to claim?

Actually what im understand. Insurance always give out 100% claims but 100% which is the market value.
But when come to us, our expectation are always insurance company only pay us 90% which we always calculate from our insurance amount we covered.

Hence, my case here. im myVI SE owner and actually JPJ not categorize this is a new make and it remain to EZI.
So, if this case. when come to claim for myvi SE and myvi EZI and the amount should be same.

Do you agree?

agree that SE is not in the classification because mods do not count.

Sorry i may need to clarify more, you dun get 100% value only in the case of total loss or major damages that exceeds certain value of the car.

it applies to all insurance company
