This benefit is only available to you if your NCD is 50%. (Some insurers allow their clients to add on this benefit if their NCD is 40% and above.)

The table below shows how the NCD Protector affects your NCD (%) if you have made claims within the policy period:

For example, if you have an NCD of 50% and have made one claim, your NCD will drop to 20%. The NCD protector will allow you to maintain your NCD at 50% upon your next motor insurance renewal.

Note that you’ll be compensated under only ONE of the above categories. The claim is usually limited to ONE accident during the (one-year) period of insurance you have with your insurer.

On top of the above coverage, passengers of your vehicle are also covered up to half of the amount for each category stated above.

As with all other insurance coverage, the insurer will not pay under certain circumstances. These include intentional, self-inflicted injury, suicide (even attempted suicide), physical (or mental) defect/infirmity, and drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs.

Unfortunately, damage to the insured’s vehicle by anything other than fire and theft is not covered by under this policy.

Most car owners will opt for a comprehensive policy instead because of the Third-Party, Fire and Theft Insurance’s limited coverage.

This is quite similar to the Act Liability Only Insurance, just that third-party insurance also covers against damage to property as well as accidents occurring on roads and private properties.

As the name suggests, this type of auto insurance doesn’t cover damage to the insured’s vehicle.

In other words, this type of motor car insurance doesn’t cover damages to property or vehicle. It also doesn’t cover accidents that occur within private compounds.

Vehicle owners (almost) never take up The Act Liability Only Insurance as a stand-alone policy. Instead, this is embedded into other types of policies, like the Third-Party, Third-Party Fire & Theft or Comprehensive Cover insurance.

In Singapore, automobile owners almost always sign up for Comprehensive Cover Insurance.
