It is compulsory to renew road tax annually, according to the Road Transport Act 1987. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vehicle owners can choose to renew the roadtax: i) 6 months or ii) 1 year. The price remains the same according to your car model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;road&nbsp;taxes that the&nbsp;Road&nbsp;Transport&nbsp;Department&nbsp;(JPJ) collects fund many purposes. Examples: the Public Works Department of Malaysia (JKR) uses the fund to repair, build and upgrade the highways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prices differ based on <strong>engine capacity<\/strong>, <strong>geographical location<\/strong>, <strong>vehicle types<\/strong>, and <strong>vehicle ownership<\/strong>.

It is a policy designed to&nbsp;protect the insured against&nbsp;the actions or claims of a&nbsp;third party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insurance will protect your vehicle from untoward incidents like theft, fire, damage, and <strong>compensation for vehicle damage<\/strong>. Please note that this is eligible for <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/types-of-car-insurance-policies\/#Comprehensive_insurance\">comprehensive policy<\/a> only. The insurance coverage lasts for a year. Renewal is compulsory every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premium will be pooled with other policyholders under one insurance company fund. The fund will be used as compensation to you in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike road tax, the insurance premium is different and changes every year. There is usually a reduction in the premium rate&nbsp;if the policyholder has&nbsp;an NCD entitlement during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Differences_between_car_insurance_roadtax\"><\/span>Differences between car insurance &amp; roadtax<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please refer to the table below to further understand the differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Car insurance<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Roadtax<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Prices vary according to the market price of the vehicle and the owner\u2019s NCD<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Prices remain the same on the same vehicle<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Required to protect the vehicle and third party&#8217;s claim from any untoward incidents<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Mandatory as regulated under the Road Transport Act 1987<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Mandatory renewal for a period of 1 year<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Renewable for a period of 6 months or 1 year<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Has various plans\/ benefits provided by insurance &amp; Takaful companies<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">No plans available<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Prices are subject to change (depending on the policy)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Price is fixed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Able to get additional discounts offered by insurance companies<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">No usual discounts<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">May have additional charges<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">No additional charges<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_renew_the_road_tax_without_insurance\"><\/span>Can you renew the road tax without insurance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is no!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need valid insurance to renew an expired road tax.
