Compensation Insurance for Loss of Car Use

 

Compensation for loss of use is an optional benefit that you can choose for additional protection when you get your car insured with DirectAsia in Singapore. When you choose this optional benefit, you can get S$50 per day to cover your transportation expenses while your car is being repaired for up to a maximum of 10 days per accident, and 20 days per year. The purpose of loss of use auto insurance is to temporarily maintain your standard of living and ensure that you have other means of getting around while your vehicle is sent for repair.

If you rely on your car for daily commuting, you can consider opting for loss of use coverage on top of your car insurance. 

How to Get Loss of Use Car Insurance Coverage in Singapore 

We currently offer compensation for loss of use as an optional benefit for drivers who are insured under the Comprehensive and Third-Party Fire & Theft (TPFT) car insurance cover types. 

We recommend the Comprehensive cover for drivers who prefer complete peace of mind. When you get insured with our comprehensive car insurance, you are protected from daily dangers faced by you and your car, including uncommon dangers like floods, natural disasters and fallen trees. Generally, any car under 6 years old and younger, inexperienced drivers should get comprehensive coverage. 

The Third-Party Fire & Theft (TPFT) cover is suitable for those who don’t want the full benefits of comprehensive car insurance but still want coverage for fire and theft. We recommend this plan for cars above the age of 8.
