Motor Insurance
  • What is motor insurance and why do I need it?

    Motor insurance provides cover for damage to your vehicle and covers death and injury to third party and/or damages to third party property if you are involved in an accident. Coverage depends on the type of insurance policies you purchase.

    Examples of risk that you may ask: 

    • If I crash into a luxury sports car, will I be able to afford the repairs?
    • What happens if I hit a lamp post / road barrier? 
    • How will I get around if my car is stolen or written off?

    So, by having the right motor insurance, it will help you with the costs.

  • Why is motor insurance compulsory in Brunei Darussalam?

    • depreciation (wear and tear),
    • loss or damage of accessories and spare parts, 
    • damage to tyres only,

    • windscreen damages
    • flood, storm 
    • excess protector 
    • passengers’ risks in your own vehicle 
    • personal accident 

  • How do I set the insured value (sum insured) for my motor policy?

    For new vehicles, the sum covered will be the purchase price (excluding vehicle license, insurance and registration). For other vehicles, the insured value is the market value of the vehicle at the date you apply for the insurance.

    Market value means an amount equal to the current accepted price of the car. It takes into account the age, make, model, kilometers travelled and condition of your car.

  • What information do I need to disclose to my insurance company?

    • Vehicle blue card, 
    • Existing insurance policy, 
    • Proof of No Claims Discount (NCD) earned, 
    • Details of previous claims, if any and 
    • Modification made to the motor vehicle, if any. 

    Providing false information or documents may void the insurance policy. 

    Case study:
    Ahmad bought a new car and participated in comprehensive insurance. He decided to add a spoiler and lower the car a few inches to give it a more distinctive look. But when the car was damaged, his claim was rejected because the car was not roadworthy, and he had not informed his insurer of the changes.

  • Is the premium pricing for motor insurance fixed in Brunei Darussalam?

    Yes, to some extent. There is a motor tariff rate used by Brunei Insurance and Takaful Association (BITA) members whereby members cannot charge lower than the tariff.

  • What is a “No Claims Discount” (NCD)?

    NCD stands for No-Claim Discount. Some operators use the term No Claims Bonus (NCB). This is a discount offered by insurance companies for those car owners who have not made any claims within a year or more. The longer the car owners do not make any claims, the better the discount they may be eligible for.

  • How are NCDs applied to my motor policy?

    Different NCD rates are applicable to different classes of motor insurance. In general, the NCD is applied as follows:Different NCD rates are applicable to different classes of motor insurance. In general, the NCD is applied as follows:


    Private Car (NCD)

    Commercial Car (NCD)

    Policy Period
    Comprehensive
    Third Party
    Comprehensive
    Third Party
    1 year before

    20%

    20%

    10%
    10%
    2 consecutive years before

    25%

    25%

    15%
    15%
    3 consecutive years before

    30%

    30% (max)

    20% (max)
    20% (max)
    4 consecutive years before

    40%




    5 or more consecutive years before

    50% (max)




    Case study: How to calculate NCD?
    Driver A participates in a comprehensive policy for his one-year-old car and his premium amounts to BND 1,000. If he did not make any claims in the year before, then he is entitled to a no-claims discount of 20%.
    This means his discount is BND 1,000 X 20% = BND 200.
    The premium he has to pay is BND 1,000 – BND 200 = BND 800.

  • What is “excess”?

    Excess is also known as “deductible”. It is the amount you have to pay for each incident when you make a claim. The types of excess applicable are:

    a) Vehicle Excess
    b) Driver Excess

    • Not named in certificate
    • Age of driver
    • Holder of provisional driving license or holder of full valid driving license of less than 24 months’ duration. 
    c) Geographical Area Excess

    Case study: How is excess applied?
    If the covered person has an excess of BND 500 and the total repair costs BND 3,000, then the covered person must pay BND 500 while the insurance company pays the remaining BND 2,500.

  • What is “loading”?

    Loading is the additional premium you have to pay on top of the basic premium. This is to take into account of higher risk factors involved such as age, make and model of vehicle and claims experience. There are two different loadings:

    1. Model Loading

    • Based on the vehicle make and model.
    • The basic tariff was meant for ordinary vehicles.
    • Continental vehicles such as Mercedes Benz and BMW will apply a different model loading because of the high cost of repairs and spare parts and the probability of accidents.

    2. Year Loading
    • Based on the vehicle’s year of manufacture.
    • The loading starts at year 6 because of the new for old principle.
    • E.g. In the case of a 5-year-old vehicle with a damaged bumper. An insurance company cannot provide a similar 5-year-old bumper but can only give a new one hence the additional loading.
