• The excess is the amount of loss you have to bear in the event of an accident. There is an additional excess of RM400 in case of accident where your vehicle is driven by a person not named in your policy, below the age of 21 or still under probational licence (P) (for Comprehensive Private Car).

• Betterment charges (if you are involved in an accident and the damaged parts of your vehicle are replaced with new parts) will apply for vehicles aged 5 years and above.

• Motor is a Cash Before Cover policy. Payment must be made upfront before cover can be issued.

• You must ensure that your vehicle is insured at the market value of your vehicle at the point you apply for this policy.

• In the case of renewal, your renewal sum insured will be determine based the present market value from the approved vehicle valuation database which will be shown on the renewal notice issued. However, if the model of your vehicle cannot be found in the approved vehicle valuation database, we will use your previous year’s sum insured as a basis and you need to verify the reasonable current market value of your vehicle on renewal. You have to maintain your vehicle in a roadworthy condition.

•  In the event of a claim, your claim will be assessed based on the same vehicle valuation database used to determine the market value of your vehicle at the point you apply for this policy or at the point of renewal. This will not apply if your vehicle is insured based on agreed value.

• If you insure your vehicle lower than the market value by more than 10%, you are considered under-insuring your vehicle. In the event of loss, you will need to bear the proportion of the under-insured amount of the loss yourself. See the following illustration for further information:

Policy Sum Insured = RM50,000
Vehicle Market Value = RM80,000
Assessed Loss = RM5,000

Sum Insured/Market Value x Assessed Loss

RM50,000/RM80,000 X RM5,000 = RM3,125

In the event of loss, we will pay RM3,125, whereas you will have to bear the remaining RM1,875.

• If you over-insure your vehicle and in the event of a loss, the claim amount will be subject to the market value of your vehicle at time of loss.

• If your vehicle is still under hire purchase and the financial institution required you to insure according to your outstanding loan value, which may be higher than your vehicle market value, please note that in the event of loss, we will only settle the claim according to the market value of your vehicle at time of loss. The differences between the vehicle market value and the outstanding loan value will not be covered.

This policy does not cover certain losses, such as:
• Your own death or bodily injury due to a motor accident;
• Your liability against claims from passengers in your vehicle;
• Loss, damage or liability arising from an act of nature i.e. flood, storm or landslide;
