Direct vs Traditional Car Insurance Companies

Have you ever wonder what’s the difference between Direct and Traditional Insurance Companies in Singapore?

Direct Insurance companies promote their channel by going direct with clients in getting their car insurance instead of going through intermediaries. The savings of commission from agents will be pass down to car owners who also have the alternative to select the coverage ‘ala carte’ instead of not being able to choose.

Traditional Insurance companies promote most of their channel through agents to service the car owners to get the business. Agents will get to know better what the car owner’s needs are. However, most of the coverage are fixed by the insurance companies and there are certain limitation that allows you to remove or reduce the cover. Eg, lower own damage excess.
