<![CDATA[Car insurance from directasia.com]]>Has anyone bought their car insurance from directasia.com before? Any feedback?


Their premiums seems much lower than usual insurance companies, but since I’ve no experience with them before… wonder how they r like, and whether claims will be any issue? They did a mailer advert with the road tax renewal notice sent frm LTA… so, must have quite a bit of moolah to do such widespread advertisement thru LTA???

Anyone?? TIA!

My friend has his car insured recently and save about $130 when he jump to another company.

He just get an agent to quote and the agent return with 5 quotes from different companies and he choose the cheapest one.

Again reminder. Compare and buy the one that you are most comfortable with.

nani:
How do you ever get thru their hotline?? It's been the whole morning. Infact saw on their fb page, some even commented they have been trying to get thru the past few days with no avail.


Planning to check on renewal already so difficult to get thru. TOUCH WOOD, if emergency how??? :yikes:
Eh, had no issues when I was renewing my insurance few weeks back. I did the renewing via the website BUT then realised I had a good driver voucher (someone else got it) that I forgot to redeem. Called the hotline (no issue reaching) and they told me to scan and email the voucher to them. Next thing I knew, they emailed and called me to let me know that the rebate is credited to the credit card I paid my premiums with.

Still heart this insurance company. :rahrah: :rahrah:

that's entirely true - we don't cover performance cars with our main car insurance product. That's very much targeted at the mainstream driver, or what we call the 'safe driver' segment, so not at the very young new driver, the very old, those with a lot of accidents, and those in sporty cars, for example. This means we can keep the price down for the vast majority as we are not targeting those which are considered more risky.

It's worth pointing out though that we recently launched another car insurance product - SOS car insurance, which is for so-called 'high risk' drivers - those that have had a number of accidents in the past, and are struggling to get insurance and been declined. Where someone has been unlucky with accidents in the past this may be a route back for them:

I hope that's helpful .....

I thought it might be of interest to the community to know that we recently added a new type of cover, called 'low mileage car insurance' - this is especially suitable for OPC and those who drive less than 8,000km a year. You'll likely save even more on your cover if you don't drive so much.


I hope this is of interest ....

Mark

i have been with DA since their inception. must be the cheapest i say if you dont take up the optional stuffs.
If you are a very safe driver that doesnt drive a lot.. eg opc car.. i would say go for this.
why pay more when end of the day you will not be making any claim!

You can go to this page here to check which car modifications are LTA compliant:

I hope that helps?

This is the first time I am owning a car (Buying a second-hand). Saw this DirectAsia with very good quote but there is one part that says if any modification of the car, it have to be LTA compliant. How do we know if the car is modified and LTA compliant?

Anyone had bad experiences with the company so far??

Thanks.

Really saved a lot of $$ and the extra $$ goes to road tax.

It is indeed v competitive pricing... Actually, I am not good with the terms of car insurance.. but a broker who was checking on quotes for me, told me that the terms frm directasia.com are pretty much standard... so, that kinda assured me that it shd be fine.. but i do feel bad towards the broker, since it means i have kinda \"wasted\" his time checking for me with other insurers... but no choice.. my wallet is calling.... \"savings\".... 🕺

I tried going in there. the quote is cheaper than what china taiping quoted me - difference not a lot but any savings is still welcome. Will go back to compare the terms but likely to take the plunge with directasia.


yeah!!!

The premium is quite a big difference, so i doubt my current insurer (AXA) can even go anywhere close to them... LOL 😂

FYI, my sister used their quotes to negotiate with NTUC.
NTUC ended up giving her a discount, but not sure whether the
premium was as low as Direct Asia's.
