Just like putting on your seatbelt, having proper motor insurance or takaful protection is crucial for a better driving experience. Ensuring your peace of mind on the road is not just important – it’s essential.
Here’s a list of services you should consider when choosing a motor insurance company or takaful operator.
On-the-go and online
Seamless digital experience
Choose insurers and takaful operators that offer a seamless digital experience, linking all parties involved in the claims process. Imagine a system where the workshop receives your claim details electronically, you get real-time updates on the repair progress, and the insurer or takaful operator handles the payment directly – all through a user-friendly online platform.
This linked approach ensures clear communication, transparency, efficiency, and convenience for everyone involved.

Tailored coverage choices
Motorists aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are their insurance or takaful needs. To address this, insurers and takaful operators offer a wide variety of products for you to choose from. Whether you require comprehensive coverage for ultimate peace of mind or a more basic third-party liability policy, there should be an option to suit your budget and risk tolerance.
Many insurers and takaful operators also allow you to customise your coverage with add-on options. This could include:
24/7 support at your fingertips
Roadside assistance anytime, anywhere
In the event of a breakdown, a flat tyre, or a dead battery, your insurer or takaful operator will dispatch a tow truck to your location, often free of charge if it’s within policy or certificate limits.
Some providers even offer on-site repairs or fixes for minor issues, getting you back on the road quickly. This not only saves you the hassle of arranging your own towing but also ensures a qualified professional handles the situation.
