  • Why instaPol?

    Effective 1 July 2017, pricing for Motor products was liberalised where premium/contribution rates are to be determined by individual insurers and takaful operators. The rates take into account broader risk factors that drive fairer pricing; greater innovation on new products tailored to consumer needs with improved services; and sustainable motor protection for consumers over the long-term at competitive prices.

    instaPol is a quick, hassle free way to buy insurance.

    Just answer a few simple questions and we will present the most suitable options in an easy-to-compare grid along with unbiased reviews of all insurers and takaful operators’ products on offer.

    instaPol is your choice that allows you to buy online 24/7 including after sales support.

    Which insurers / takaful operators do instaPol represent?

    We do not represent any insurers / takaful operators. instaPol provides an impartial comparison of a range of insurance/takaful products from our pre-selected insurers / takaful operators.

    Why do I need motor insurance/takaful?

    In Malaysia, it is not just risky to drive without motor insurance/takaful – it is against the law. Even if you don’t want full comprehensive motor insurance/takaful, at the very least you need to have third-party motor insurance/takaful to cover damages to someone else’s car or property, or in case they are seriously hurt.

    How do I know which is the best motor insurance/takaful plan for me?

    instaPol makes comparing fast and easy. The simple grid system reveals why some plans cost more than others, so you can make an informed choice.
    Remember to always read the fine print to make sure the plan is the right fit for you.

    When should I renew my motor insurance/takaful?

    Ideally, one or two months before your motor insurance/takaful expires. This will give you enough time to renew your road tax and get a car inspection if you need one. Take the weight of remembering off your mind. Just provide a few details here and we’ll remind you when it’s time to renew.

    What is a No Claim Discount?

    If you have insured your vehicle for a continuous period of 12 months and you or anyone else did not make any claim under the policy/certificate during that period of insurance/takaful, a No Claim Discount (NCD) will be applied at each renewal. This applicable NCD will increase with each renewal if you continue to have claim free years as follows :

    Claim Free Year of Insurance/Takaful NCD Entitlement
    After 1 continuous claim free year 25%
    After 2 continuous claim free year 30%
    After 3 continuous claim free year 38.33%
    After 4 continuous claim free year 45%
    After 5 continuous claim free years and beyond 55%

    What types of payment method is acceptable?

    We accept credit card and debit card payment.

    What are the payment gateways available?

    Our online payment service is provided and operated by eGHL which registered and approved by Bank Negara Malaysia (Central Bank of Malaysia).

    How do I know if my purchase is unsuccessful?

    You will receive an email notification once your payment has been made. You will receive a second email from your chosen insurance/takaful provider once they have received the funds. This second email will confirm your purchase has been successful and will contain your policy/certificate documentation.
    You can also check your purchase status by logging into your account.
    If you do not receive an email confirmation within 1 hour of purchase, please let us know by emailing [email protected] (don’t forget to check your junk mail first).

    My computer froze while processing payment. How do I know if my payment was successful?

    All successful transactions will trigger an email notification.
    You can also check your purchase status by logging into your account.
    If you do not receive an email confirmation within 1 hour of purchase, and your purchase status has not changed, this suggests the payment did not go through. If you would like to check with us, you can send an email to [email protected]
