Personal > Motor Insurance
Motor Insurance (also known as car insurance, vehicle insurance or auto insurance) is insurance for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other road vehicles. Its primary purpose is to provide financial protection against physical damage or bodily injury resulting from traffic collisions and against liability that could also arise from incidents while driving a vehicle. Vehicle insurance also offers financial protection against theft of the vehicle, and damage to the vehicle sustained from events other than traffic collisions, such as adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, and damage sustained by collisions with stationary objects. The specific terms of vehicle insurance vary with legal regulations in each country.
With different basic types of Motor Insurance coverage being offered, ARF will assist you to make an informed decision.
The 3 Basic Types of Motor Insurance coverages are:-

What to do in the event of a claim?
1. Exchange particulars with all involved parties:
- Name
- NRIC/FIN Number
- Telephone Number
- Vehicle Number
- Address
- Insurer
2. Take photographs at the accident scene and submit it to your authorised accident reporting centre
- The accident scene, including the accident vehicles and surrounding areas
- Damage to your own vehicles with the license plate included
- Damage to other vehicle(s) with the license plates included. Should it be a multiple vehicle collision, take pictures of the vehicles with direct contact with your vehicle, e.g. the immediate front and rear vehicles.
3. Call your insurer for a tow truck or further advice on the accident.
4. Make a police report if there are:
- Injured parties
- Damage to government properties
- Foreign vehicles
5. Report and bring your vehicle (whether damaged or not) to your authorised accident reporting centre/workshop within 24 hours, or by the next working day.
If you do not report an accident to your insurer within 24 hours
- Your insurer may repudiate liability because you have breached policy condition for failure to report an accident. You will therefore not be protected under the policy and will have to deal with your own repair costs and any Third Party claims made against you.
- Your No Claims Discount (NCD) will be docked upon the renewal of your policy.
- Your insurer may also cancel or decline renewal of your policy.
