Q3. How long does the coverage last and how do I renew?
Your motorcycle insurance policy lasts for one year. You'll need to renew it each year to stay covered. We'll send you a reminder before your coverage expires.
Q4. How much will it cost?
The price of your motorcycle insurance (called the premium) depends on several factors, including:
- - The value of your motorcycle: The more valuable your motorcycle, the higher the premium.
- - Your motorcycle's details: This includes things like the year it was made, its engine size, and the brand and model.
- - Your age, gender, and driving history: Younger riders and those with a history of accidents typically pay more.
- - Where you live: If you live in a busy city, you might pay more than someone who lives in a rural area.
- - Your past claims: If you haven't made any claims in a while, you might qualify for a discount.
Q5. What are the additional costs besides the premium?
There are a few additional fees you might need to pay:
- - Stamp duty: This is a government fee of RM10.
- - Service tax: This is an 8% service tax on the premium amount.
Please note: These tax rates and fees could change, so we recommend checking the latest regulations.
Q6. What is not covered by this insurance?
There are some situations where this insurance won't pay for damages or injuries. Here are some common exclusions:
- - Injuries or death to yourself: This policy doesn't cover your own medical bills or funeral expenses if you're in an accident.
- - Injuries to your passengers: If someone riding with you gets hurt, this policy won't cover their costs unless you add extra coverage.
- - Normal wear and tear: This policy doesn't cover things like regular maintenance or breakdowns.
- - Natural disasters: If your motorcycle is damaged by a flood, storm, or earthquake, this policy (usually) won't cover it. You may be able to add extra coverage for natural disasters.
This is not a complete list of exclusions. Be sure to read your policy wording carefully for all the details.
Q7. Can I cancel my motorcycle insurance?
Yes, you can cancel your policy at any time by writing a letter to the insurance company.
- - If you've had the policy for more than a year: You'll get a refund for the unused portion of your premium (called a pro-rated refund).
- - If you've had the policy for less than a year: The refund amount might be based on a daily rate calculation.
Keep in mind:
- - You won't get a refund for any minimum premium amount you paid.
- - You won't get a refund if you've already made a claim during the current policy period.
