vehicle insurance terms

Often confused to see the term vehicle insurance? Don't worry, Friends of Insurance are ready to help with terms that are often used in Vehicle Insurance.
Insurance policy
You may have heard this term many times, but do you really know the meaning behind it? Policy and insurance policy have almost the same meaning, an insurance policy is an agreement or agreement between the policyholder and the insurance company to perform obligations such as loss or damage protection that has been agreed by both parties.
Insurance premium
A word you will also hear often is premium. In short, the premium is the value or nominal payment agreed by the policyholder with the insurance company. The amount of premium to be paid will also be listed on your vehicle insurance policy.
Sum Insured
Simply put, the price of coverage is the purchase price of a motor vehicle when you make an insurance policy. This purchase price will be listed in the policy and will later become the maximum limit of the liability value of the insurance company if you make a claim at any time.
Total Loss Only or TLO
Well, this one term is very closely related to car insurance. Total Loss Only or TLO is one of the most common types of vehicle insurance in Indonesia. If you choose Total Loss Only motor vehicle insurance, it means that in the event of a loss or damage the insurance will provide repair or replacement costs of only 75%.
All Risk
Just like the term TLO, all risk is also related to the type of insurance you can choose for your vehicle. The difference between the two is that all risk insurance will accept all claims for loss or damage to a motorbike or car up to 100%.
Deductible or Own Risk
Deductible, own risk, or own risk have the same meaning, namely the value that becomes your burden for each damage or loss that occurs. This burden or value is usually calculated from the amount of compensation to be paid. As a policyholder you must really pay attention to these details in the insurance policy purchased.
TJH III or Third Party Legal Liability
In simple terms, TJH III talks about the liability guarantee that will be given by the insurance party to a third party if the insured vehicle suffers a loss or damage. You can ask the insurance party for points regarding Third Party Legal Liability when making a policy.

Factors Affecting Your Car Insurance Premium

Type of Coverage and Insurance Extension
The premium amount will be influenced by the type of coverage and also the insurance extension you choose. Generally, there are two types of coverage that you need to know, Comprehensive and Total Loss Only (TLO). With different types of insurance coverage available, the resulting premium is going to be affected. A comprehensive package with numerous features will naturally cost more than a lower-tier option. The same goes for optional extras, should you wish to add them on to your existing policy.
When buying insurance, it's crucial to carefully consider the coverage limits and ensure they align with your potential risks and needs.

Vehicle Age
The age of a vehicle is a key factor in determining car insurance premiums, both for comprehensive and Total Loss Only (TLO) policies. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) regulates which vehicles are eligible for comprehensive and TLO insurance in Indonesia.

Location
Motor Vehicle Insurance premiums are indeed affected by the area where the vehicle is primarily used. Insurance companies assess risks based on location, with areas experiencing higher accident rates, theft, or severe weather events often resulting in higher premiums.

Vehicle Usage
Car insurance premiums are indeed calculated based on risk, and vehicle usage is a significant factor in determining that risk level. Cars used for different purposes, like private, official, or commercial use, have varying levels of risk, and this is reflected in the premiums charged by insurance companies.

Always double check every policy guarantee and insurance premium offer according to your needs. Contact Sahabat Insurance marketing team for more info via WA 021-50508080.
