What is Car Insurance?
Car insurance provides financial protection against your and third parties' loss or damage caused by accident. It may cover the cost of repairing your car, medical expenses, personal injury or death, and property damage. Coverage varies from policy to policy.
Types of Car Insurance
According to Section 4 of Cap. 272 Motor Vehicles Insurance (Third Party Risks) Ordinance, all users of motor vehicles are required to be insured against third party risks as a form of basic protection.
Third party liability insurance: The most basic car insurance policy, which covers claims against you for third-party bodily injury, death, or property damage, including legal costs. However, it does not cover the cost of damage to your own car.
Comprehensive car insurance: It includes third-party liability insurance and repair expenses for accidental damage to your car with additional coverage such as free towing, 24-hour emergency assistance, personal accident, and medical expenses.
How to compare car insurance?
Read the insurance policy's coverage first and pay attention to whether the policy provides coverages for car damage, personal accident protection, third party property damage, personal injury, or death.
It would be best if you also consider premium, sum insured, and excess. You may compare car insurance quotes from different insurers in one go through MoneyHero, helping you select the one best suits your needs and wants.

Factors to consider
Car insurance premiums are affected by the policyholder's age and driving experience. For example, younger car owners usually pay higher premiums for the same model. The main reason is that the probationary driving licence holder does not have enough driving experience, and there is no no-claim discount so that the premium would be higher. The probationary driving licence holder should also pay attention to the deductible amount of the car insurance (commonly known as deductible), which refers to the amount that the insured needs to pay for each insurance claim. Generally, drivers under the age of 25 or drivers with less than 2 years of driving experience are required to pay an additional deductible when claiming. If you are a new car owner, it is recommended to purchase comprehensive car insurance for comprehensive coverage.
If you've decided to sell your car and plan to buy a new car, you may cancel your existing car insurance and get a pro-rata refund when you buy car insurance for your new car. However, if you have no plans to acquire a new car, you will need to contact your insurer to cancel your policy.
You may request your new insurer to transfer your NCD to the new car insurance policy. However, if you have no intention of acquiring and driving a new car for the time being, be aware that the NCD may expire in 1-2 years. If the NCD expires, you will not be able to enjoy the discount when purchasing a new car in the future. As major insurers have different ways to calculate NCD, you may check with MoneyHero or insurers directly.
Insurers usually allow up to four drivers to be added to a policy. Usually there is no charge for adding a second driver, but an additional charge is required for the third and fourth drivers. In most cases, the additional drivers have the same coverage.
All you need to do is enter the other driver's details when you purchase a car insurance. If the insurance is already in force, you may contact the insurer directly.
It takes time to find the right car insurance. You should compare different car insurance policies before you take possession of your car. When you purchase an insurance policy, you may choose the effective date of coverage. Therefore, you can definitely pre-purchase car insurance and set the effective date on the first day of driving your new car.
You may call +852 3018 9760 or email us at cs.insurance@moneyhero.com.hk
With enough notice, you may cancel your car insurance. To cancel your insurance, please get in touch with your insurer or MoneyHero.
If your car insurance has expired, you may switch to car insurance offered by other insurers at any time without paying extra. However, if you want to cancel your car insurance before the renewal period, the insurer may only refund part of the premium.
If you ever claim, you will not get back any premium.
