There are many main factors influencing motor insurance Singapore. Driver information such as years of experience, any accidents, sex age, whether married or single and whether they work indoor or out. Then there is the information about the vehicle, what it is used for, make, model and engine capacity. Finally there is the policy type with all its extras. These factors are assessed for risk by the insurance companies based on their past claim records. This means there is a lot of variation in price between companies. Some factors will always carry higher risk, such as youth, inexperience, a powerful car, a car that is much coveted, and so will increase the cost. It is still true though that some companies who have had less claims against these factors will still be cheaper. The number of factors creates a massive number of combinations. The company who does not consider the young too high a risk may well charge heavily someone who works outdoors and has a very powerful car that is very desirable. These are all examples of high risk factors, and therefore it may take a few quotes to find the company who is least punishing overall. The cheapest price will not make it clear which factors were considered lower risk just that overall that company was more willing to take the risk of that mix. These details are all facts and can not be changed without some action such as changing the car or getting married. By knowing how these factors work it is possible to work towards future lower premiums. One thing that can be done is by continuing to drive safely a no claims bonus will accumulate. New drivers with no experience are considered a very high risk. Because of this policies will be particularly expensive through the first four years after gaining a licence. The amount does reduce annually if no accidents occur. During this time the no claim bonus discount will also start to accumulate by 10% for each accident free year completed up to a 50% maximum. Drivers who refrain from committing traffic offences avoid earning demerits. People are eligible for a Certificate of Merit after being demerit free for 3 years. Participating companies will allow another 5% discount on the policy of people who have a Certificate of Merit. People who have attained a no-claim bonus of 40% or above are able to protect it with certain policies. The cost of the policy increases slightly, but in the case of an accident the no claim bonus is unaffected. A second claim in the same year would cause the no claim bonus to be reduced by 20% and a third claim would reduce the bonus to nil. Being aware of the main factors influencing motor insurance Singapore, getting many quotes is time well spent. When the optional extras are compared and brought into line on the best quotes a saving of up to seventy nine percent can be made. This can be tedious repeating the same information again and again, whist it is also a long job. However now there are many websites to help with this process.
