Effective 1 July 2017, under the liberalised environment, more risk factors will be considered in determining premiums. Other than the sum insured, cubic capacity of the vehicle engine, age of vehicle and age of driver, premiums may be driven by other factors. These factors could be safety and security features in the vehicle, duration that the vehicle is on the road, geographical location of the vehicle (in areas with higher incidents of theft) and traffic offences on record.
These factors will define the risk profile group of the policyholder which will determine the premium. As different insurers and takaful operators have different ways of defining the risk profile group, the price of a motor policy would differ from one insurer to another.
