Changing the car insuring company
Changing the car insuring company
Is it as simple as buying a new policy from another insurer for the period after the current policy is already expired?
I am asking this question because in different countries there are different legal regulations or habits (i.e. the insurance gets automatically extended if not terminated before certain date).

i accepted a new quote before the current one expired. then i called up the old insurance company and cancelled it when i got confirmation from the new insurance company my policy has been effected.
the old insurance company mailed me a pro-rated check and that was that.
i think it's best to check your current policy will not auto-extend - it's not required by law but i would not put it past some thievin insurers to do so...

How long did the check take to arrive Taxico, and who was the insurer? Was the process a hassle?
I've received quotes from Aviva that's about half my current, AXA for a year. I was just going to do what x9200 is doing, sign up the day my current expires. If I can actually cancel and get a pro-rated refund, all the better!

Thanks taxico.
Anybody tried http://www.directasia.com/?
Curiousgeorge mentioned them some time ago but for a motorbike. Aviva gives me an online quote ~1200-1300 with $1k excess while Directasia.com ~1100 with $0.6k excess. Coverage looks roughly the same.

it took about a month. another one (company with four letters before the word income) said they had it in the mail but i never received it. i forgot about it until a year later when i badgered them...zzm9980 wrote:How long did the check take to arrive Taxico, and who was the insurer?

btw, you won't get a "full" pro-rated amount coz they'll steal some for "administrative" reasons... but money's money!
i called up every single insurer directly (some call you back coz they don't have a "hotline" after office hours - i left my contact on their website) and bugged the person on the phone until i got the best rate possible
i didn't get the best quote via direct asia. i probably called up over 10 insurance companies in 3-5 days, but it was worth it.
