This is a warning for people who don't know that Etiqa is a lousy insurance company.

I've been buying from Etiqa for many years, but recently I didn't renew my insurance for more than 1 year, they refused to renew my insurance unless I have Puspakom certification.


It was also very difficult to contact Etiqa staff to get more details so I really regret giving money to Etiqa for so many years.

I went to Puspakom and Puspakom staff said there is no need to have a test because it is under 3 years of non-renewal. Only cars above 3 years need to have a test.

At Puspakom, I managed to find another insurance company who is willing to renew my insurance without any car tests.

Having a test at Puspakom is a nightmare, the place is so crowded and a very long line of cars waiting to be tested and have to wait several hours even after booking a few days earlier. That's what I saw, luckily I found another insurance company.

Each insurer will access their own risk portfolio. If it think is too risky, it rather forego earning the small premium than to pay higher compensation later.

That is business decision.

Would you be kind to explain why you didn't renew your insurance and possibly pay your road tax?

some insurance companies are more strict with requirements if your car is more than 15 years old.

i just browse online among the insurance companies until i get one that will let me renew it.

nothing to worry about.

Etiqa during MCO last year refused to renew my old junk's 3rd party insurance. Cant renew online, must speak to their staff but during MCO, they say nobody working so cant answer calls. So in the end nobody approve. Using ETiqa for more than a decade also useless.

Went to MSIG...they renewed it no problem.

I have no issue with Etiga so far. Towing is ok, so is claims process. And premium cheaper than others I have explored.
