insurance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Car insurance or <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/en\">auto insurance<\/a> is a contract between you and the insurance company that protects you against financial loss in the event of a car accident, fire, and theft. Your insurance coverage depends on the insurance policy that you choose. In exchange for your paying a premium, your insurance will pay the losses that are covered by your insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As car insurance will cover the insured car from the risk of damage and loss, this will ease the financial burden of the policyholders during unexpected events involving their car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_you_need_to_buy_car_insurance\"><\/span>Why do you need to buy car insurance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is mandatory for motor vehicle owners to buy motor insurance and road tax in order to use public roads in Malaysia. Following the Road Transport Act 1987, all vehicle owners must have a valid Motor Vehicle License (road tax) and motor insurance for vehicles to be used on the road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your information, you need to first renew your insurance (at least third party insurance) before you can proceed with road tax renewal. By having valid insurance and road tax, car owners can be better protected and avoid getting fined by the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_car_insurance_work\"><\/span>How does car insurance work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for you to enjoy the protection by your insurance, you will need to pay an amount or premium to your selected insurer annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premiums that you and other policyholders pay will go to the insurer\u2019s funds. Your insurance company will manage the funds and use them to cover the financial losses involving the insured cars of the policyholders, according to respective insurance policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"6828\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/car-insurance\/what-you-need-to-know-about-car-insurance\/attachment\/a1_-insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2.jpg?fit=1600%2C900&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1600,900\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2-1024x576.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Car owners pay a premium to insurance companies annually for coverage\" class=\"wp-image-6828\" title=\"Car owners pay a premium to insurance companies annually for coverage\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/A1_-Insurance-paid-for-vehicle-damage-or-financial-loss-2.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_types_of_car_insurance_policies_can_you_buy\"><\/span>What types of car insurance policies can you buy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 3 types of car insurance policies that you can choose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comprehensive_insurance\"><\/span>Comprehensive insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of policy offers the most <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/comprehensive-car-insurance\/\">comprehensive coverage<\/a>.
