Yearly Comprehensive Insurance

[antz-z]

not sure if this was asked before or not, but just want to get suggestions/recommendations from kotse gurus here...

how do you know or assess if the comprehensive insurance you'll be paying every yr is fair? for my car - acquired feb 2007, vios a/t 1.5G - how will i know that the 12.5k they quote me to renew my insurance is not too high? last year i paid 14.5k, not sure why it's only less 2k for this yr.

sort of a "dummy" question lang po thanks..

The insurance depends on the "book value" of the vehicle. So every year you will pay less and less on the insurance of the car. BTW, it also depends on the insurance coverage like does it include AOG or not?

If you are having doubts, you can have a price quote from another insurance company so you can compare prices.

This is how you go about it

First you deduct 10% value for every year you have owned the vehicle.
So if you bought your car at 880,000php, you will renew your cover at
792,000php on the second year and 712,800php on the third year. That's
10% depreciation every year which is the practice here. And you are
allowed to up to 15% depreciation every year.

On you second question.... you have to learn to compute manually
your insurance on approved Insurance Commision rates.
To compute manually check this thread

Based on your computation granting that all the tariff are correct,
you can buy your cover from All or any of the insurance co. here.
Technically there is no such thing as cheap car insurance as they
are sold on a regulated basis. As regulated and approved by the
Insurance Commision.

And your insurance premium is tax deductible.

Ask guidance from your accountant how to file an itemized ITR.

Hi. Newbie here. I'm about to renew the insurance of my vios 1.5S MT (2009). Last year, I paid 30k for the comprehensive coverage. This year, their quote is still 30k (24k for the original policy + 6K for AOG). Is that a reasonable price? Thanks.

It's on the high side. Reasonable would be about 24k but AOG included already. That is assuming a coverage of 700k OD, 200K BI PD and 250k PA.

sorry for the noob questions:
for comprehensive insurances, how much is % the usual participation fee of the owner in case of car damages? and will this be reimbursable once the insurance release the damage payment?

tia!
