No, there’s no limit to number of incidents and breakdown or accidents.
Our policy only covers one towing per incident, so you would not be able to claim for both tows.
To ensure claims are approved, repairs must be conducted at a workshop approved by us or under the PIAM Approved Repairers Scheme (PARS). We recommend sending your vehicle to our panel workshop or one of the approved workshops by Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM).
It is advisable not to let them tow your vehicle. Instead, you should contact our Roadside Assistance at 1800-88-1033 to arrange for the towing. This will ensure that your vehicle is safely towed to a panel workshop and that your claim is processed smoothly.
Yes, it is possible. Please contact our Roadside Assistance at 1800-88-1033 to make the necessary arrangements.
For towing due to an accident, the towing charges is included with the repair costs as part of the claim submission. For towing due to a breakdown, please contact our Roadside Assistance at 1800-88-1033 directly for free towing.
It is important to notify Generali of the accident as soon as possible, except:
No, physical visits to our office may not be necessary. You may submit your claim through email or via the workshop.
You are required to send your vehicle to an approved workshop for claim notification and assessment immediately after an accident. If you continue to use your vehicle after the accident and it incurs further damages, those damages will not be covered. If you have another accident, it will be assessed under a separate claim.
They will help you submit the necessary documents for the claim and prepare a repair cost estimate.
An adjuster is anindependent party appointed by Generali to evaluate and determine the extent of damage to your vehicle at the workshop, and subsequently ascertain the associated expenses for the necessary repairs.
The survey conducted by the adjuster will take place within two working days after being assigned by us.
You will receive a notification about the adjuster's appointment through SMS. However, it is not necessary for you to be present during their survey.
If not at fault, you can opt for Own Damage Knock-for-Knock (OD KFK) claim. It's faster and requires no upfront payment to the workshop, with no impact on your NCD entitlement (subject to KFK Agreement T&Cs, see Q16).
If you have a Comprehensive cover and the third party that knocked your car is clearly at fault, you can submit Own Damage Knock-for-Knock (KFK) claim to us. OD KFK Claim process is faster than Third Party Claim and your NCD entitlement will not be affected.
Accidents where OD KFK Claim is not applicable:
If the third party did not lodge any police report, you can only lodge an Own Damage (OD) claim. However, we may consider your claim under OD KFK if you have the police investigation outcome to confirm the third party is at fault. You may be required to submit a Statutory Declaration affix by Commissioner of Oath.
To proceed with an OD KFK claim, it is necessary to collect the required documents directly from the police station, including any additional documents as required. Alternatively, you may coordinate with the workshop for any assistance regarding additional services needed.
You have two options:
You may start tracking the progress of the repairs with the workshop on your vehicle.
For vehicles that are over 5 years old, the adjuster will assess whether used parts are suitable or if new original franchise parts should be used. If you choose to use new original franchise parts, you will be responsible for paying the betterment charges.

Age of vehicle/ Years | Rate for Betterment (Not to exceed following %) |
