Without it, you won't be able to drive your new car. But, finding the best car insurance plan is not as easy as it seems. There's a lot for you think about. To name a few, there's the annual premiums, type of coverage and different clauses in the different plans.\r\n\r\nFor any driver, experienced or not, this whole process of choosing the right insurance policy can be really draining and confusing. It's not as straightforward and simple as finding the <a href=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/get-cheaper-car-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cheapest car insurance plan<\/a>. There's a lot more to it. Luckily, there are a lot of car <a href=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/understanding-motor-insurance-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insurance guides you can find online from trusted sources<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIf you're still confused after doing your own research, don't worry! We've\u00a0come up with a comprehensive list of car insurance policies to help you compare the best car insurance plans in Singapore!\r\n<h2><strong>The Best Car Insurance Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nPersonally, we don't think there's such a thing as \"the best car insurance plan\" because everyone has different needs. Additionally, just like a personal insurance policy, your profile affects the policy premiums. This means that everyone will have different requirements to meet and prices to pay.\r\n\r\nFor this article, we'll be comparing car insurance policies from five key players.\r\n<h2><strong>NTUC Income Drivo Premium<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<h3><strong><em>Great for new cars and drivers who aren't heavy road users<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8977 size-thumbnail alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NTUC-Income-150x150.png\" alt=\"NTUC Income offers best car insurance plans\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NTUC-Income-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NTUC-Income.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you decide on NTUC Income for your car insurance, the Orange Force will be at your disposal if you get into an accident. We're sure you've seen them around, a first-aid trained rider who will provide assistance and ensure your safety. It's certainly a really unique benefit that many other companies do not offer. For this alone, we feel that it's an excellent choice for your car insurance as it guarantees you total peace of mind during accidents.\r\n\r\nApart from the Orange Force, the Drivo Premium plan allows you to visit any workshop whenever the need arises. There's an option for you to purchase extra coverage to waive the standard $600 excess too!\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Etiqa Comprehensive Insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<h3><strong><em>Perfect for seasoned drivers or the budget-conscious<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8978 size-thumbnail alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Etiqa-Car-Insurance-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Best Car Insurance plans from Etiqa\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Etiqa-Car-Insurance-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Etiqa-Car-Insurance-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Etiqa-Car-Insurance-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Etiqa-Car-Insurance-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Etiqa-Car-Insurance-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Etiqa-Car-Insurance.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\r\n\r\nWith only one plan in their arsenal, Etiqa offers a comprehensive no-nonsense plan for drivers. While many other companies cap their limits for young and inexperienced driver excess, Etiqa offers one of the youngest limits at just 24 years old. But of course, the caveat is that the excess charge is really high at $4,000. Another unique option that will surely appeal to owners of cars with a sun or moon roof. Etiqa offers an option for you to cover and claim for this part of your car for repairs. And the best part is, it won't affect your NCD!\r\n\r\nWith personal accident coverage at $50,000, Etiqa offers a comprehensive plan with relatively high coverage. Additionally, if you happen to get into an accident, the company will even provide transport allowance, which is an awesome perk to have! If you decide to take up a car insurance policy from Etiqa, make sure you look out for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etiqa.com.sg\/promotion\/thank-etiqa-friday-sale\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">promotions<\/a> (which happens almost every week).\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>FWD Classic Insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<h3><em><strong>Probably the best car insurance plan for families<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-8979 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FWD-150x150.png\" alt=\"best FWD car insurance plan\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FWD-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FWD.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\r\n\r\nAsk anyone about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fwd.com.sg\/car-insurance\/comprehensive-motor-insurance\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FWD insurance<\/a>, and it's likely that they'll tell you the same thing; car insurance plans from FWD are perfect for families.\r\n\r\nWhy? It's simple, really. FWD's plans emphasize heavily on personal accident coverage, so you know that you won't be hit too hard financially.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, FWD offers a one-time payment for children if both parents are permanently disabled or in case of their demise due to a car accident. These will assure you and give you peace of mind, knowing that you won't have to burden your family if anything happens.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, there are a lot of benefits when you sign up with FWD. For instance, all their plans come with transport allowance and they'll even provide you with a replacement car.\r\n\r\nWhile one of FWD's requirements is that you can only visit their authorised workshops, it's actually not that bad of a thing. When you visit one of their authorised workshops, you will receive an extended workmanship guarantee until your car turns 10. It's a really good value-added service to have in your car insurance plan.\r\n\r\nThe best part of FWD's car insurance plan? Their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fwd.com.sg\/car-insurance\/comprehensive-motor-insurance\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Classic plan<\/a> is usually 30 - 40% cheaper than the average, which provides good value for money.\r\n<h2><strong>Aviva Lite Insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<h3><em><strong>Good for drivers aged between 25 and 30<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-8981 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Aviva-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Best Aviva car insurance\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Aviva-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Aviva-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Aviva-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Aviva-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Aviva-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/carro.co\/sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Aviva.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\r\n\r\nRemember the Aviva insurance plan you signed up for while serving your National Service?\r\n\r\nIf you happen to still be a policyholder, we've got some good news for you!
