AUTO INSURANCE COVERAGE IN SINGAPORE

Ilustration

Auto Insurance Coverage in Singapore - Car Insurance / Motor Insurance Policy Explained
There is largely 3 types of Motor Insurance in Singapore :

1. Comprehensive
2. 3rd Party, Fire & Theft
3. 3rd Party Only

Insurance Coverage Details:
Comprehensive (aka COMP)
* This is the most common product line for Motor Insurance in Singapore.
(It is the most common because motor car owners have imperfect information on what insurance coverage to go for, so in order to "play safe", most simply opt for the fullest coverage.)
* Covers Own Damage repair on insured own vehicle
* Covers 3rd Party Damage repair on 3rd party's vehicle
* Excess / Deductibles usually applies
* In the event of Total Loss (Due to serious Accident or Theft) the insurance company will pay out the Market Value of the vehicle AT the time of Loss

3rd Party, Fire & Theft (aka TPFT)
* This is getting more common with the recent constant increase in Motor Insurance Premium in Singapore.
(It's increasingly common because the auto insurance premiums have skyrocketed over the past 5 years in Singapore, the main reason being cited was that the car insurance companies have been making losses...... Another reason is that car owners are getting more insrance-savvy and sophisticated, thus they know that not all cars need to purchase COMP insurance.)
* This is subject to the approval of the finance company of the car
* Covers 3rd Party Damage repair on 3rd party's vehicle ONLY
* Excess / Deductibles usually DO NOT applies
* In the event of Total Loss (Due to serious Accident or Theft), the insurance company will pay out the Market Value of the vehicle AT the time of Loss

3rd Party Only (aka TPO)
* This is also getting more common in the mist of increasing vehicle insurance in Singapore.
(Unfortunately, this gets more commont oo, but for less pleasnat reasons. Some car owners fail to have insurance renewed, and could not find another insurer to renew their motor insurance. This is mainly becuase they were involved in an accident, and made significant amounts of claim. To get insured, they had to settle for TPO)
* This is subject to the approval of the finance company of the car
* Covers 3rd Party Damage repair on 3rd party's vehicle ONLY

FACTORS AFFECTING PREMIUMS FOR AUTO INSURANCE / CAR INSURANCE IN SINGAPORE

 

Factors affecting Premiums for Auto Insurance / Car Insurance in Singapore
Profile of Insured / Registered Owner of the car

1. Age
This is the one time where it pays to be older. Generally, if an insured person is older, the premium will generally be lower. But this is only true up to 69yrs old. Once a person crosses into 70yrs old, most insurer will not want to take up the risk. So for drivers who is <26yrs old or > 70yrs old, premium are generally higher due to higher risk.

2. Driving Experience
Basically, since there are no other benchmarks on driving experience, the insurer will base it on the Date when the Singapore driving license are obtained. Due to the increasing population of Expatriates, Employment Pass holders & Permanant Residents population in Singapore, some insurer DO take into consideration the driving license which the person has obtained from their home country. This generally helps lower the motor insurnace premium that needs to be paid by them.

3. Make & Model of the car
The rule of the thumb would be that the premium will be lower for those Make & Model which has better claim experience. (Think Toyota Vios / Nissan Latio vs Mitsubishi EVO / Subaru WRX). Another possibility could be also due to a larger brand share of a particular Make & Model which reduces the risk undertake by the insurer.
Below are some general Motor Insurance Premium price band by Brand
(Premium indication below excludes Turbocharged / Supercharged / High Performance vehicle / Coupes / Cabriolets / High valued vehicle)
NOTE : Information below are correct as on Jan 2010
Low Premium - Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Chevrolet & KIA
Medium Premium - Honda, Lexus, BMWs, Mercedes, Audi, Volkwagon & Renault
High Premium - Subaru & Mitsubishi
Disclaimer : Above are estimates correct as on Jan 2010 but information above are solely for reference purposes and :
We shall NOT be liable for any gains / losses that may arises from the above information.
We shall NOT be responsible for any reference link that may refer you to us.

4. Claims history
Put it simply, the more you claim, the more expensive will be your neneweal auto insurance premium, This is the part which may cause HUGE increase in Motor Insurance Premium. Due to escalating claims, car insurance rates have increased about almost 50% over the last 3 years. Claims record in Singapore stays with a person for 3 years. Therefore, to keep your premium low, careful driving without claims is one of the best way.

Another way is to pay a small fee to preserve your NCD (explained below). Thus, even when you make a claim, your insurance discount will still be effective.
Due to the huge claims suffered by insurer in recent years, once a person has :
* 1 claim of > $30K in the last 3 years
* 2 claims of any amount in the last 3 years
The person will probably have to SELL their car as there is NO insurer that will be willing to insure that person.

What is NCD / NCB?
NCD - No Claim Discount
NCB - No Claim Bonus
No Claim Discounts [NCDs] are discounts provided by insurance companies to offset against motor insurance premium. They are typically employed to reward policy holders for good driving records. This is being adopted by all motors insurance companies in Singapore.
When there is a change in insurer for the motor vehicle insurance, NCDs can also be transferred. For policy holders to continue to enjoy the NCD with the new insurer, insurance companies have to exchange information on policy holders’ NCD records.
Last, but not the least, you can check with Traffic Police if you have a valid Certificate of Merit (COM aka "White Card"). If so, you stand to enjoy a further 5% on your annual auto insurance quote upon renewal.

About Car Insurance
Auto accidents can happen—yes, even to the best of us. An auto insurance policy can help cover repairs to your vehicle and medical costs in the event of an accident. Think of it as your firewall against economic disaster should you be found at fault for property damage or injuries to other people.

Understanding Your Auto Insurance
We admit it. Auto insurance isn't the easiest thing to comprehend. You may feel like you need a PhD, the Rosetta Stone, and Sherlock Holmes to de-code all of the language about your auto insurance coverages.
Really, though, it's not that complicated. Here's a quick overview that will have you understanding auto insurance so well, you may just want to read your policy for fun! (OK-maybe not.)
 

What are the coverages?
Bodily injury liability provides protection if you injure or kill someone while operating your car. It also provides for a legal defense if another party in the accident files a lawsuit against you.

In the event of a serious accident, you want enough insurance to cover a judgment against you in a lawsuit, without jeopardizing your personal assets.

Bodily injury liability covers injury to people, not your vehicle. Therefore, it's a good idea to have the same level of coverage for all of your cars.

Medical payments, no-fault or personal injury protection coverage usually pays for the medical expenses of the injured driver and passengers in your car. There may also be coverage if you are injured by a vehicle as a pedestrian.

Uninsured motorists coverage pays for your injuries caused by an uninsured driver or, in some states, a hit-and-run driver. In some states, there is also uninsured motorist coverage for damage to your vehicle.

Given the large number of uninsured motorists, this is very important coverage to have, even in states with no-fault insurance.

Comprehensive physical damage coverage pays for losses resulting from incidents other than collision. For example, comprehensive insurance covers damage to your car if it is stolen; or damaged by flood, fire or animals. To keep your premiums low, select as high a deductible as you feel comfortable paying out of pocket.

Collision coverage pays for damage to your car when your car hits, or is hit by, another vehicle or other object. To keep your premiums low, select as large a deductible as you feel comfortable paying out of pocket. For older cars, consider dropping this coverage, since coverage is normally limited to the cash value of your car.

Property damage liability protects you if your car damages someone else's property. It also provides you with legal defense if another party files a lawsuit against you. It is a good idea to purchase enough of this insurance to cover the amount of damage your car might do to another vehicle or object.

Grace, space and pace: the three things a Jaguar should offer according to the company's founder, Sir William Lyons. Today, though, Jaguar's rivals are so good that simply being gracious, spacious and... ahem... pacious... isn't enough. Fortunately, the XF saloon was designed with this in mind. When it was launched in 2008 it was better than anything you could buy from Audi, BMW or Mercedes. And it remains a strong contender, thanks to its eye-catching interior, strong diesel engines and entertaining drive.

Space

Practical boot, but a bit tight in the back

There’s plenty of space in the front of the XF, but its swooping roofline means you have to be careful not to bang your head when climbing in and out of the rear. Also, while adults do fit back there, they can’t stretch their legs out like they can in the Audi A6, BMW 5-series and Mercedes E-class. In-car storage and boot space are harder to fault. And the XF’s rear seats fold down so you can enlarge the luggage area, a handy feature that Mercedes charges extra for. 

Comfort

The faster you go, the better it gets

The suspension isn’t particularly good at dealing with bumps in the road when you’re driving around town. However, things improve significantly with speed, making the XF a relaxing cruiser. True, it lets in a bit more wind noise than a BMW 5-series, but the 2.2-litre diesel engine is reasonably smooth and the 3.0-litre diesel exceptionally so. The front seats adjust electrically, too, to help you find a good driving position, but the seats themselves aren’t especially supportive. 

Dashboard layout

Looks great, but touchscreen control system is fiddly

The XF’s interior has a real sense of occasion to it. The vents in the dashboard automatically open when you start the engine, while tasteful slivers of wood and aluminium combine with blue backlighting to create an ambience more akin to a cosmopolitan cocktail bar than a car interior. Sadly, when you look a little closer you see that some of the plastics in the XF aren’t as classy as those in its German rivals.To make matters worse, most functions are controlled through a touchscreen that’s fiddly to use and slow to respond. 

Easy to drive

Effortless on the move; tricky to park

An automatic gearbox is standard across the range, and this combines with gutsy engines to make driving the XF about as taxing as sitting in your favourite chair. Sadly, parking it isn’t quite so simple due to a small rear window that means you can’t see much out the back. You’re very reliant on the parking sensors. 

Fun to drive

A real joy on a challenging road

If your commute to work includes a fast A-road or a tricky B-road, you’ll be glad you chose an XF.It combines precise, involving steering with loads of grip and an ability to glide over dips and crests, making even the most basic model deeply satisfying to drive quickly. Alternatively, if it’s not quite entertaining enough for you in standard form, the XFR and XFR-S versions offer a truly brutal turn of speed and an even more exhilarating driving experience. 

Reliability

Jaguar has an excellent customer satisfaction record these days

This is clearly an XF strength because it finished third out of 116 cars in the 2013 JD Power customer satisfaction survey, whereas the Mercedes E-class was 13th, the BMW 5-series 25th and the Audi A6 68th. Like these rivals it comes with a three-year warranty, although you do have to pay extra for breakdown assistance; Mercedes gives you four years of cover as standard. 

Fuel economy

Not bad, but not the best

The most fuel-efficient version of the XF uses a 2.2-litre diesel engine that averages 57.7mpg, a figure that would have been seriously impressive a few years ago. However, you can now buy versions of the BMW 5-series and Mercedes E-class that manage more than 60mpg. The 3.0-litre diesel XF is more competitive, matching the 47.9mpg that you get from the equivalent E-class engine, but it’s still beaten by the 3.0-litre diesel 5-series. 

Affordability

Prices are a mixed bag; good residuals, though

The XF has higher CO2 emissions than some other executive saloons, which means it will cost you slightly more to run as a company car. However, leasing rates are competitive, so if you’re prepared to pay the extra, the company accountants are unlikely to have a problem with you choosing an XF. Resale values are strong, too, which is good news for private buyers. And the higher up the range you go, the better value the XF looks compared with rivals; the XF 3.0 diesel R-Sport, for example, costs a lot less than the Audi A6 3.0 TDI S-line, the BMW 530d M Sport or the Mercedes E350 Bluetec AMG Sport. 

Safety

Crash test score is disappointing

The XF comes with a host of features that are designed to make it a safe place to be, including six airbags and systems that increase braking force in an emergency and help to control skids.Sadly, the XF still scored only four stars when it was crash tested by car safety specialist Euro NCAP, whereas all its key rivals achieved the maximum five-star rating. This doesn’t mean the XF is unsafe – indeed, this sort of score would have been acceptable a few years ago – but it is below par for a modern car. 

Standard spec

Pretty good, but basic versions are missing some key things

It would be unfair to call Jaguar stingy, because every XF comes with alloy wheels, climate control, Xenon headlights and satellite-navigation. However, while rivals such as the Audi A6 and BMW 5-series give you leather upholstery and heated front seats as standard, Jaguar charges extra for leather on SE and R-Sport models, and only provides heated seats as standard on the pricey Premium Luxury and Portfolio models. The best way around this is to go for the Luxury spec and add the Comfort Pack, which includes heated front seats and a heated windscreen.

INFINITI QX70 REVIEW

List price from £42,355 Lease price from £670 The verdict 4 

Infiniti QX70 review. The stylish Infiniti QX70 4x4 looks like nothing else on the road. It’s fair to say Nissan’s luxury brand, Infiniti, hasn’t been a huge success in the UK yet. However, this QX70 model is one of its better sellers. A rival to sporty 4x4s, such as the BMWX5 and PorscheCayenne, the QX70 blends a raised driving position with striking looks and offers greater exclusivity than any of its rivals. 

Space

Disappointing for such a big car

The QX70 is like the Tardis in reverse; it’s huge on the outside, but has a surprisingly small interior. While four adults can fit, those in the back can’t stretch out like they can in other big 4x4s. And the boot isn’t much bigger than a VW Golf’s. More positively, there’s a decent amount of storage space around the driver, and the rear seats can be folded flat. 

Comfort

Overly firm and you feel too much engine vibration

Every QX70 has an electrically adjustable driver’s seat that makes it easy to get comfortable. Sadly, you won’t stay that way for long because the QX70 thumps over potholes. In fact, even on roads that look relatively smooth, you can feel the car shimmying around beneath you. Three engines are available: 3.7- and 5.0-litre petrols and a 3.0-litre diesel. The petrols are smooth enough, but the diesel sounds a little gruff when you accelerate and it sends too much vibration into the car in stop-start traffic. 

Dashboard layout

Some awkwardly positioned controls

It’s easy to adjust the cabin temperature or fan strength. Unfortunately, you have to stretch to reach the controls for the stereo and satellite-navigation. Also, while the dashboard looks reasonably smart, the switches and cupholders feel cheap compared with those in other premium 4x4s. 

Easy to drive

Feels too wide for UK roads

You sit high in the QX70, so get a good view of the road ahead. Sadly, there are big over-the-shoulder blind spots that make changing lanes tricky. The QX70 is also a very wide car and you can’t tell where its bonnet ends from the driver’s seat. These issues combine with heavy steering to make it tricky to drive in town. Whichever engine you choose, there’s no shortage of performance, and every model comes with an automatic gearbox and the reassurance of four-wheel drive. 

Fun to drive

Better than you might expect

If you can put up with the QX70’s firm ride, you’re rewarded with good composure; it doesn’t lean much when you ask it to change direction and there’s a decent amount of grip. The BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne both have more consistently weighted steering, though. 

Reliability

Little information, but warranty is merely average

There hasn’t been much feedback from UK owners, simply because Infiniti sells so few cars here. However, the company does have a good record in the U.S. version of the JD Power customer satisfaction survey. More disappointing is the fact that the warranty on the QX70 expires after three years or 60,000 miles - whichever comes first. Rivals such as the BMW X5 and Range Rover Sport have three-year, unlimited-mileage warranties. 

Fuel economy

You’ll spend a lot at your local filling station

The diesel version of the QX70 has an official average of just 32.8mpg, while in the real-world you’ll struggle to get more than 25mpg out of it. Unsurprisingly, the 3.7-litre and 5.0-litre petrol models are even less efficient. 

Affordability

High running costs and weak resale values

The QX70 is priced in line with other big 4x4s, but it won’t be worth anything like as much when you come to sell it. These weak resale values make it expensive to lease, too, and you’ll need deep pockets to afford the insurance bills.

Safety

Lots of driver aids available

Like most modern cars, the QX70 has a stability control system that helps you regain control if the car starts to skid, plus it’s fitted with front, side and window airbags in case an accident proves unavoidable. These features helped it score a maximum five-star rating in the independent Euro NCAP crash testing programme. GT Premium models also feature a system that keeps you from drifting out of your lane on the motorway, and another that can automatically apply the brakes if it looks like you’re going to run into the car in front. 

Standard spec

Every version is well equipped

Every QX70 comes with a long list of standard features, including climate control, heated and cooled leather seats, a powered tailgate and cruise control, plus you can play music and make phone calls via a Bluetooth connection. GT Premium models add a Bose stereo, satellite-navigation and an adaptive cruise control system that keeps you a set distance from the car in front. Meanwhile, S versions of the QX70 are sportier to drive and look at.
