For everyone's future reference

I have recently gotten a quotation on E101 insurance from MSIG Malaysia for my vehicle (a 2022 BMW 3 series) for a 4 day trip to Thailand, it was RM56

I think it's fairly reasonable for an added peace of mind eg: vehicle damage / theft / towing from Malaysian border, which wasn't covered by both CI & VI

if your vehicle breaks down at Thailand (touch wood), MSIG will get it towed to their panel in Thai?

I asked them the same question, they told me they do not have towing service in Thai. You have to arrange to get it towed to nearest Malaysian border (either pay towing out of own pocket, or your voluntary insurance covers it), then from Malaysia side, MSIG will arrange for their partner to tow it to nearest workshop.

You might need to check with your Malaysian insurer if they have towing in Thai. I believe most doesn't.

So, basically the coverage is predominantly to cover against thief and accident when you are at Thai? Thought you will need to buy local Thai insurance when you enter the country.

From what I read and understood:

Compulsory insurance covers third party and own bodily injury, death and medical
Voluntary insurance covers third party vehicle damage (if your fault), public property damage and some additional coverage for third party and own bodily injury, death and medical

Both insurance above doesn't seem to cover our vehicle.

Cover your vehicle is 101 extension. Call your insurance company and tell them how many days, you will get a quote accordingly. Then just pay via card.

Yep, already got it insured.

As above, it was RM56 for 4 days.
