New For Old Replacement Car Insurance

 

With new for old car coverage, you can get your car replaced with a new car of the exact same make and model should your vehicle be stolen or written off. 36 Month New for Old Car Replacement is an optional benefit you can add to your car insurance policy with DirectAsia to further upgrade protection based on your needs. 

This benefit applies to cars which are stolen or suffer a total loss, in which the cost of repairs is more than your vehicle’s market value, within the first 36 months of the first registration. Kindly note that the new for old car insurance benefit will not be renewable once your car reaches 3 years old from the first vehicle registration date. 

New cars begin losing value as soon as they are driven off the lot. For cars under 3 years old, obtaining new for old car replacement insurance serves as a lifeline to help get you back on the road without the financial burden of replacing or repairing your vehicle.
