Announced just recently on the 1st of July 2021, CarInsure is a car insurance and road tax renewal feature by TNG Digital Sdn Bhd. Through the feature, users can purchase car insurance and road tax directly through the app itself.
At the time of writing, there are only two insurance providers available through CarInsure - Allianz and MSIG. The feature allows you to receive instant quotations and compare between the two on the spot.
Note also, that the car insurance available is for private car comprehensive insurance only, so don’t expect much leeway for customisation there. However, you can choose from these add-on coverages below:
Windscreen coverage
Special perils
Additional drivers
Unlimited drivers
Road tax delivery
Why use CarInsure?
Comparing car insurance has always been a little complicated. With so many ways to compare and so many avenues to renew, what makes CarInsure worth using?
Right off the bat, the biggest advantage to using CarInsure compared to other platforms is the FREE RM50,000 personal accident coverage. According to Touch ‘n Go, users who purchase a motor private car comprehensive policy through CarInsure will be entitled to one year free PA protection, underwritten by Allianz.
Personal accident insurance provides compensation to the policyholder’s family in the event of injury, disability or death.
Eligible users will be notified via email after successfully purchasing their policy. At present, there seems to be no deadline or specific eligibility criteria for the free PA protection. Click here to read more terms and conditions.
On top of that, users also get an exclusive 10% discount on their premiums - making it cheaper to purchase through CarInsure compared to buying directly from Allianz or MSIG.
Since car insurance renewal and road tax renewal comes hand in hand, it also makes sense that TNG provides road tax delivery directly to your doorstep, with arrival expected within 3 - 5 days.
