Buy motor insurance direct

Hi Mr Tan,

When I was overseas, I could buy motor insurance directly through a call center and get a 10% discount. Why is this not available in Singapore?

MY REPLY:

If you call the insurance company directly, they will give the discount to you. But, they do not advertise this discount, as it may upset their insurance agents.

You can get a quotation from their website beforehand. When you call them, you already know what is the normal premium. You can ask for the discount. See if they give it to you.

You can enter "motor insurance" in Google search and see if you can locate any of these websites in Singapore.
