Car Insurance

Car Insurance

Car insurance is legally required in Malaysia. Due to the much higher accident rate compared to Japan, car insurance is essential. Please note that in Malaysia, you need separate passenger injury insurance to cover injuries or death of passengers.

This insurance covers personal injury to others (third-party liability), damage to others’ property such as vehicles or fences (property damage), and damage to your own insured vehicle in an accident (vehicle damage).

Third-party liability insurance is mandatory in Malaysia.

Here are some available optional coverage riders:

  • Passenger liability rider covering death or injury to passengers
  • CART rider covering rental car costs during vehicle repairs
  • Windscreen coverage rider
Recommendation
In Malaysia, it’s common to hear about small stones flying up on highways and cracking or chipping windshields. We recommend adding windscreen coverage if possible.

Helpful Advice
Malaysian car insurance offers discounts on basic coverage premiums based on your claim-free period.

No-Claim Discount (NCD)
  • 1 year claim-free: 25% discount on basic coverage premium
  • 2 years claim-free: 30% discount on basic coverage premium
  • 3 years claim-free: 38% discount on basic coverage premium
  • 4 years claim-free: 45% discount on basic coverage premium
  • 5 years or more claim-free: 55% discount on basic coverage premium

*If you make even one claim, your NCD resets to 0% from the next policy term

If you have a no-claim certificate from a Japanese insurance company, you may be eligible for NCD in Malaysia.

Another important coverage is Passenger Personal Accident insurance, which covers driver and passenger injuries

While Japan has passenger injury coverage as a rider to car insurance, Malaysian law prohibits attaching passenger injury insurance as a rider to vehicle insurance. You need to purchase separate Passenger Personal Accident insurance.
