Motor FAQS

A motor takaful plan covers against loss or damage to your own vehicle against accidental loss and/or damage and/or theft including legal liability to the third parties, arising out of the use of the motor vehicles, belonging to the participant.

Comprehensive: This protects you against accidental loss and/or damage and/or theft including legal liability to the third parties, arising out of the use of the motor vehicles, belonging to the participant.

Third party: This protects you against the third party’s death, bodily injury and/or property damage.

Who is a third party?: A third party is a person who is injured or has suffered loss or damage arising from an accident involving your motor vehicle. A third party may be a pedestrian, a driver or passengers in another vehicle. The first party to a motor takaful plan is you as the vehicle owner and the second party is the takaful operator.

The takaful operator may, as stated in the certificate, impose deductible on the motor takaful plan. Deductible is the amount of loss you have to bear before the takaful operator will pay for the balance of your claim. In other words, the deductible amount will be deducted before the final claim payment. Example: If the amount of deductible is Rs1,000 and the amount of claim is Rs1,500, the takaful operator will only pay you Rs500.

The takaful operator may apply a loading on your contribution to ensure that the amount charged is commensurate with the risk of the participants. The most commonly used loading factors are your age, any adverse driver characteristics, cubic capacity, specific claims experience of your vehicle and re-conditioned vehicles.

The takaful cover will compensate your loss by putting you back to the same financial position as you were in immediately before the loss. You cannot profit from a motor takaful claim.

Depreciation occurs when, in the course of repairing an accident vehicle, an old part is replaced with a completely new one. For example, if your old bumper is replaced with a new one, you have to bear the difference in cost between the old and new bumper, in line with the principle of indemnity. This is because your contribution to the takaful plan is based on the amount covered. This amount, in turn, depends on the value of your vehicle, which will usually be lower than a new one.
