Mine is from AIG for the TC purchase discount.  My previous ride is through AXA via Automobile Assoc.  If you are an AA member, get a quote for comparison.  You should consider your needs since all plans are quite different - I go for cost minimization.

When bought car last year, TCM throw in free insurance with AIG.  Just received renewal notice from AIG.  The premium $1000+, excess $500.  Checked with NTUC, terms about the same, quoted me about $200 cheaper for $500 excess.  If zero excess, premium exactly $1000 (still cheaper than AIG).  Did not check with some lesser known insurance companies.  Think some bros got even better deal with these lesser known insurance companies.  But personally, prefer to deal with bigger and more well known key players.

Why not put your dad name to enjoy lower prem ? 1.9K is too exp.
AIG can also cover unnamed drivers under all age conditions

Put his dad's name may enjoy lower premium. But, touch wood, if kena, the excess is much more due to the high risk group.

Somehow, people must start somewhere to start accumulating his/her own NCB.  Otherwise, can never own a car under own name.  If dad is not that young, will reach a stage where still have to pay high excess for high risk group.

Yup I need to start somewhere and I like to be independent.

Just to add regarding the quotations, need your DOB, driving licence issue date and occupation to quote. Sorry to bros who pm earlier I had to make you write extra.

I heard insurance premiums are gg up again this yr. :(

Go to www.dbs.com.sg to ask for the Driveshield quote. Now got free $80 petrol vouchers. I just renewed my premium, about $300 less than NTUC. Can pay by installment if got DBS credit card.

I got quoted for $1400 after 10% NCD from DriveShield. The $80 free voucher may be good but Im hoping for cheaper insurance. The excess is $500 tho. Prefer to pay in full if possible tho. Siong man  :crying:
