It is best to normalise switching insurance companies when renewing your car insurance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should avoid auto-renewal or using the same insurance because the insurance premium you pay may not be the lowest in the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, insurance companies will update the premiums and benefits offered for car insurance from time to time. Therefore, we advise you to compare the premiums offered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That way, you will be able to see the differences and choose the insurance plan at a more favourable price for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-change-car-insurance\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_car_insurance\"><\/span>How to change car insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing car insurance for a policy that has expired is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can just renew your insurance at your preferred insurance company. You may renew your insurance directly with the insurance company, through an agent or via any platform that offers insurance comparison and purchase like MyEG and Bjak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you need to cancel your policy beforehand if your existing insurance has not yet expired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may refer to our previous article to learn how to cancel your insurance policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tips-to-switch-to-other-car-insurance\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_to_switch_to_other_car_insurance\"><\/span>Tips to switch to other car insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have said, you are encouraged to switch to another insurance company when renewing your car insurance.

As such, compare the benefits offered by the companies first. Make sure that the insurance policy you want to get is better than your previous one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your previous insurance plan does not offer free personal accident add-on cover, you may try to get new insurance that provides the cover. Insurers that provide complimentary personal accident cover include Takaful Malaysia and Liberty Insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"check-the-premium-offered\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
