Get back on the road quickly and easily with our affordable comprehensive car insurance cover designed for motorists who have had multiple accidents.
We believe in second chances. Our Higher Risk Car Insurance is geared specifically towards motorists who are having a tough time getting car insurance cover. If you’ve had 2 or 3 at-fault accidents and/or claims within the last 3 years you may find yourself left out in the cold, unable to get cover in Singapore. Or perhaps your vehicle insurance has been terminated or refused renewal by your insurer. That’s where our Higher Risk Car Insurance product comes in. We offer a fuss-free, affordable Comprehensive Car Insurance plan that gives you another chance to be insured and get back on the roads with a high level of protection and peace of mind.
Our Higher Risk Car Insurance plan offers a similar level of cover and protection as our standard Comprehensive Car Insurance policy, with options to add on extra benefits and customise your cover to suit you and your budget.
The Higher Risk Car Insurance plan provides full comprehensive coverage including liability to third parties and loss due to damage to your car, theft and flooding.

Our Higher Risk Car Insurance plan is suitable for motorists, aged 30 years-old and above, who have had 2 or 3 at-fault accidents and/or claims in the last 3 years. We also allow you to take up Higher Risk Car Insurance if you and your drivers named under the policy have a total of up to 3 at-fault accidents and/or claims. For instance, we will cover 1 Main Driver and 2 Named Drivers who have all had 1 at-fault accident and/or claim each within the last 3 years.
The main differences between the two products are the number of at-fault accidents/claims in the last 3 years that we can accept. Customers with 2 or 3 accidents and/or claims in the last 3 years usually have difficulty finding car insurance as most insurers consider them to be under the higher risk group. For our standard car policy, we insure safer drivers for a very competitive premium. Our Higher Risk Car Insurance, however, is aimed at giving customers and their drivers with 2 or 3 at-fault accidents and/or claims another chance to be insured and continue driving.
As you would expect with Higher Risk Car Insurance, it is necessary to impose some restrictions and that includes limiting some of the optional benefits available. For instance, the optional extra, No Claims Discount Protector (NCDP) that is offered with our standard insurance, is not available with the Higher Risk Car Insurance policy.
For full details on what’s covered and what your options are, read the Higher Risk Car Insurance Product Disclosure Document.
No. Our Higher Risk Car Insurance policy provides comprehensive cover with a Named Driver Plan only. This allows the Main Driver and up to two Named Drivers to drive your car.
The standard policy excess for our Higher Risk Car Insurance plan is $3,000 and it does not come with an option to reduce it.
