Looking at the competitive price, anyone used AXA before n can share experiences here. Thx

AXA is a good company, road assist and claims are reputable. The only thing would be the market value of certain make/model of cars. Now in the market you can compare for market value and premium pricing.

Unless you have been renewing your insurance with Tan Chong then the value would be as what TC suggests.

I thought all companies are the same, rates are regulated by BNM, except when you purchase value-added products, which does not make sense because you already rich enough to afford a premium-grade insurance compared to the minimum required insurance, because you likely own a more expensive car to require the value-added insurance, price should not be your concern.

Hi Bro, the premium rates are not different across all companies as well as the perks. The motor insurance market is facing de-tariffication so it is ideal to shop around. Try to avoid a few not reputable among workshops then you are safe.

I have renewed my AXA insurance with Tan Chong and forgo the 10% online renewal discount from AXA because Tan Chong offers 'no betterment' for up to 10 years old car.
And with Tan Chong, it is based on Agreed Value and not Sum Insured value.
*
That's great ! betterment up to 10 years is very important. and TC normally recommend a high agreed value for Nissan/ Inifiniti cars.

May I know what dies the betterment up to 10 years mean?
*
Normally if you do not renew with franchise the betterment for spare parts would be 5 years while franchise can offer up to 10 years. It means that up to 10 years you are entitled to new parts replacement in the event of a claim.

Means with the same insurance company? not with the service workshop ho.
Sorry if I misunderstood you ya.

Different insurance companies will have their own betterment guidelines. In many cases, if you renew with agents, your betterment for new parts is only up to 5 years. While if you renew with franchise car dealerships, they normally offer up to 10 years to be more competitive in the market.

Found this in AXA website;

"No extra costs
No loading for cars up to 10 years old and insured value between RM20,000 to RM300,000"

so meaning no loading is better?
*
This means that as long as your car is within the 10 years old mark, you are not subjected to loading but your sum insured has to be wthin 20K to 300K. If it goes below 20K then you are subjected to additional loading.

Loading means extra cost incurred ya? sorry for asking simple question..

another thing is if car is more than 10 years, buy from dealer is better than online platform, because of 10 years betterment (new parts)?
*
Yes loading is extra cost, normally insurance companies would give an age loading for vehicles more than 10 years old. So after 10 years old, there is no difference buying from franchise or agent. Because insurers will not cover you for new parts.

Among Etiqa, AXA, Allianz and Takaful Malaysia, I got the lowest quote from Takaful when compared with same amount of sum insured.
*
Definitely is cheaper because you get 10% direct rebate from motor takaful.

Oh ok ok..so within 5 to 10 years period, then is important to buy from franchise instead.
Just wondering if Toyota, I need to check back with my Toyota sales agent?
*
It depends, because bringing your car back to franchise for an accident claim takes a much longer time than panel workshops.

Not because of the 10% rebate since all the company I mentioned offered the 10% rebate online except Allianz.

All the quotations basically have diffferent price for the basic premium before any deduction was done.
*
Now the motor insurance market is facing detariffcation hence the premium rates are different across the range. It really depends what car you currently owned. Lets just say I have a customer who has a Honda Civic 1.5 TC, Lonpac rates the car at the same rate as Kurnia but MPI Generali and Etiqa is on the higher side.

Nowadays agent cant calculate based on sum insured and cubic capacity, it all depends on the insurance company system.

Hope this explains your enquiry.

*AXA is currently still based on tariff rates.
