Market Value Purchasing your Motor Insurance on Market Value would be like the name itself, paid upon the most current market value of your car. Take for example: My car is worth 100k now. So I buy the insurance on the current market value at 100k. At the end of the year, I get into an accident and experience a total lost. I want to claim my car insurance. At the same time, my car is now only worth 75k on average in the market. Insurance will also pay at the market value and that is 75k. Agreed Value Purchasing your Motor Insurance on Agreed Value would be more straight forward. However, I will be insuring my car at a higher value. Take for example: My car is worth 100k now. The Agreed Value given to my car is 107k, at a slightly higher premium. So I insure my car for 107k. At the end of the year, I get into an accident and experience a total lost. I want to claim my car insurance. At the same time, my car is now only worth 75k on average in the market. Fortunately for me, I insured my car at an agreed value of 107k. So the insurance will pay at the Agreed Value of 107k. Floor Limit would generally mean the minimum amount to insure. This is usually at RM10,000, for cars valued below RM10,000.

QUOTE(spreeeee @ Dec 9 2015, 11:59 AM) Usually none of my customers reach floor limit yet... Floor limit - market value. It's a minimum to even quote anything otherwise the insurance company actually lose money from just taking your business. The moment you sign, they lose money just to process your file. QUOTE(spreeeee @ Dec 9 2015, 12:31 PM) anything like so called recommended insurance company for particular brand of car? No such thing. All still pay with Ringgit. ppls said like local car, better go for Company A. German car go for Company B, and so on. |

There's no such thing as "free". Let's get this right.
Whatever offered such as a 50km towing is a value-added benefit, and frankly 50km is hardly any distance to boast about. Seriously. It is included for consumers to think about towing, and include more towing distance. Service providers are actually already charging the insurance companies a much cheaper rate in exchange for business volume. Let's be real. In an unfortunate situation, the amount of time & expenses on you is way more than the 10% discount you apparently "saved". |

QUOTE(spreeeee @ Dec 10 2015, 10:36 AM) i think, policeman will not allow the car parked there overnight, right? the tow-man mentioned they will not be responsible on the car if it is not tow back to the workshop. Usually upon renewing/purchasing your car insurance, you should be receiving a car sticker (transparent road tax protector film) with some info behind it for the driver/passenger to see such as a roadside assistance hotline. u see, most of this ppls are some kind of rude ppls (sorry i don't mean all of them, u know i know we know), normally can't talk nicely with them and usually will feel threaten also. Any towing service or roadside assistance is all through that hotline. Any other tow truck that magically appears in a matter of minutes/seconds, we call them scavengers. Don't entertain them. Wait for your service provider to arrive. In an accident involving another vehicle or loss/theft, please call the agent to help you taichi with the police report. We practice every day. |

QUOTE(spreeeee @ Dec 10 2015, 10:54 AM) even the tow service assigned by insurance company, also some kind of ppl. I personally use Allianz. For few years no more complaints from my clients and myself too again, i don't mean all of them. i personally experienced also, maybe i was bad luck to receive such service, and i didn't lodge a complain to insurance company too. |

QUOTE(magika @ Dec 10 2015, 11:22 AM) For cars that used for working purposes (within city) 50KM is more than enough. In an unfortunate experience , some of my car are insure thru agency, none have been able to help save for some common info. 50km is from the moment the tow truck leave their premises. Even in city, it's pushing it. I have a number of experiences with tow truck, as I have always says, their policy is to squeeze whatever profit they can. That's why nowadays I told my friends, always tow back for repairs to respective franchise workshop such as Perodua, Proton or Toyota, etc. My experience is that it will be better and wont lose out as genuine parts are used. Just refused their services nicely and call the insurance company for help. You have good service mentality. However it cant be said for the number of times that when I requested help insurance branch personnel. Just a word of caution, don't lie in the police report. One of my cars is due for renewal. I did online compare just now with quotation from Kurnia and Etika. Etika is relative to kurnia 11% more expensive. Who said anything about lying in police report? |

QUOTE(spreeeee @ Dec 10 2015, 01:47 PM) i got a quick quote from post office jz now on 3rd party insurance. minimum sum assured is 8K, UniAsia/Zurich around RM483.00 - for a 15 yrs old local car. if want to add towing service, surcharge of RM50 is applicable. To be frank, the personnel at the post office might not know what they are doing. with the same sum assured, from AXA online, only 510.05 - COMPREHENSIVE! why the hell 3rd party is more expensive then?!?! note: ncd = 0% |

QUOTE(alesi616 @ Jul 26 2019, 01:12 PM) hi all, Maybe take your policy schedule for 2018, compare it with the current quotation, see what are the differences? I had compare my car year 2018 and 2019 insurance premium. Yr 2018 sum insured 54k, premium 1.49k Yr 2019 sum insured 49k, premium 1.7k Both are without NCD factor in. Notice that sum insured drop this year but the premium higher than last year. Is there a premium hike for car insurance also? I just notice there is price hike for medical insurance. Doesn't make sense to this insurance man. |
