With the Surer-DirectAsia partnership, you can now customise your client’s car insurance policy to every one of their needs. Choose to get your client additional protection with DirectAsia’s optional benefits from 24 Hour Breakdown Assistance, NCD Protector Plus to Compensation for Loss of Use, there’s always something to suit every one of your client’s lifestyle. NCD, or No-Claim Discount, is a discount that is given to drivers if there is no claim from your policy for at least one year with their insurance company. This lowers the cost of the premium to be paid out the following year. ‘What is NCD60’ your client may ask. Essentially, if your client has held NCD50 for at least the last five (5) consecutive years, they qualify for NCD60 and an extra 10% discount on their car insurance base premium. Take note that: The types of cover is essentially where the base selection of your client’s policy begins. This comes with the following range of options: Below table is a summary of the key differences in these cover types: For the budget-conscious drivers. For those who wish to extend beyond basic coverage to include losses due to fire and theft. Injury to someone else in an accident ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Damage to your windscreen or windows Once your client has selected a cover, you can then work with them to explore how they can or want to further customise their car insurance policy by adding any additional drivers and optional benefits. They can also choose to enhance their coverage with 24-hour breakdown assistance, new for old replacement car, compensation for loss of use and more. As per the previous section, your client is able to enhance their car insurance with DirectAsia’s list of optional benefits for each cover type. Unlike traditional car insurance covers, where everything is set in stone, DirectAsia’s optional extra add-ons empower your clients with the option to tailor their car insurance policy according to their needs. The following is a breakdown of all the optional benefits available: Each of your client use their car differently. Simply by doing a comparison between drivers who share the car with the whole family and use it daily, with others who drive solely on weekends or off-peak times, you will see that there are more ways to determine each of your client’s insurance premium. Before we go into how you can customise the car insurance policies of your clients based on drivers and usage, here’s a breakdown of the requirements: Choosing the right driver and usage plan Note: Experienced drivers are aged 30+ with 2 years valid driving licence. Young and/or inexperienced drivers are aged below 30 and/or with less than 2 years’ valid driving licence. Your client actually drives less than 8,000 km a Year? Looking for a policy that fits your client’s low mileage needs? Help your client customise their policy accordingly and this will be reflected in the premium quoted. Other examples of low mileage needs could be that your client is a secondary car owner and uses their vehicle sparingly. They could also live close to work, and as such have low mileage needs. Your client drives an Off Peak Car? The OPC scheme and the Revised Off Peak Car (ROPC) Scheme offers new car owners the option to save on car fees and taxes, in return for reduced usage during peak hours. If your client drives an Off Peak Car, then DirectAsia takes that into account when they’re calculating the car insurance premium. Please make sure you choose “Off Peak” when you’re declaring information about your client’s vehicle. This policy is underwritten by Direct Asia Insurance (Singapore) Pte Ltd. (Company Reg.
