Frequently Asked Questions

Insurance is one way to manage your risks. When you buy insurance, you are transferring the risk to the insurer in exchange for an agreed fixed amount (the policy premium). In the event of an accident or other insured event, the insurer will compensate you as specified in the policy. Of course, insurance must be purchased before the accident or some other insured event occurs.

Vehicle insurance (car and motorcycle) provides protection against financial loss as a result of a vehicle accident or other insured events. Depending on the type of insurance chosen, it may cover damage to the insured vehicle, damage or loss to third party property or person(s) as a result of the insured vehicle being used.

A car insurance contract is an agreement between an insurance company and an insured person. The insured person is compensated for damages related to the insured vehicles following an event covered in the contract. The insured must pay a fixed premium at the outset to be covered.

Compulsory insurance is required by Thai law for all vehicles. It covers some basic elements, mainly injuries to occupants of the vehicle (including the driver) as well as injuries to other people caused from the usage of the vehicle. The amount of coverage is very limited. The maximum coverage is only 300,000 THB and it does not cover any damage to the insured vehicle or to other vehicles. Roojai.com strongly recommends that every driver purchases Voluntary insurance in addition to Compulsory insurance.

Anyone who has been injured or killed in an accident involving the insured vehicle.

• Medical expenses in case of bodily injury, up to 80,000 THB per person
• Loss of vital organ, 200,000-300,000 THB per person
• Compensation for death and permanent disability, up to 300,000 THB per person
• Daily compensation for hospital admission, 200 THB per day (maximum of 20 days)

Voluntary insurance is optional insurance, not required by Thai law. Depending on the coverage type, it may cover damage to the insured vehicle whether the driver is at fault or not, damage to third party vehicle if the driver of the insured vehicle is at fault, liability for injuries resulting from a car accident where the driver is at fault, loss of or damage to the vehicle through theft, fire or natural disaster. Voluntary car insurance is divided into five categories.

Type 1: Comprehensive insurance, which covers damage to the insured vehicle regardless of fault in case of accident, fire, theft or natural disaster as well as liability to third parties (property damage and bodily injury) when the driver is at fault.

Type 2: Covers damage to the insured vehicle only in case of fire and theft and covers liability to third parties (property damage and bodily injury) when the driver is at fault.

Type 3: Only covers the liability to third parties (property damage and bodily injury) when the driver is at fault.

Type 2+: Covers damage to the insured vehicle regardless of fault provided another identified vehicle has been involved in the accident as well as damage caused by fire, theft or flood. It also covers liability to third parties (property damage and bodily injury) when the driver is at fault.

Type 3+: Covers damage to the insured vehicle regardless of fault, provided another identified vehicle has been involved in the accident. It also covers liability to third parties (property damage and bodily injury) when the driver is at fault.

Apart from Compulsory insurance, which is required by law and is required to renew your road tax, Voluntary insurance is highly recommended. Unlike many other countries where Third Party property insurance is required by law, it is not in Thailand. In case of an accident where you are at fault, you will be liable for the damages caused to another’s property and Compulsory insurance does not provide this cover. Moreover, if you injure somebody while using your car, Compulsory insurance will only cover for the damage up to 300,000 THB. You will be liable for any medical expenses, or compensation that a court may decide in excess of 200,000 THB. For these reasons, Roojai.com strongly recommends you buy at least Type 3 insurance, which only covers damage to third party and injury of third party.

If you want to insure your vehicle against damage, then Type 1 and Type 2+ are the two types of insurance you should consider.

Your Voluntary insurance policy is separate from the Compulsory insurance policy but you can buy both with Roojai.com.

Type 1 insurance provides the fullest range of benefits. Type 1 will cover your vehicle in most situations: accidents with other vehicles (if you are at fault or not), accidents without other vehicles (for example, a scratch while parking the car), natural disasters (flood, storm, etc.), fire and theft.

For newer cars worth more than 200,000 THB, Type 1 insurance is probably the best option. For older vehicles worth less than 200,000 THB, other coverage types may be more appropriate (as well as cheaper).

When the car is transferred to others, the new owner will be insured according to the policy. The insurance company must continue the coverage for the remaining time of the policy schedule. If the car owner does not cancel the insurance policy before the transfer and purchased a named driver plan, the owner must notify the insurance company of the details of the new driver in order to adjust the premium rate based on the changing risk conditions. Additionally, the new car owner will not be responsible for excess if the driver's name does not match the name in the policy.

A policy excess, also called policy deductible, is the maximum amount you will be required to pay for your car repair in case of damage to your vehicle ONLY when you are at fault or without an identified responsible third party. The excess will not apply if you are NOT at fault AND a responsible third party is identified.

The No Claims Bonus (NCB) is the discount rewarded by the insurer if no claims at fault have been made. The discount applied will be as follows;

• 20% discount on premium renewal if driver has 1 claim-free year.
• 30% discount on premium renewal if driver has 2 claim-free years.
• 40% discount on premium renewal if driver has 3 claim-free years.
• 50% discount on premium renewal if driver has 4 claim-free years.

You can find your No Claim Bonus in the policy schedule of your current insurance company. Some insurance companies will send you a renewal invitation which will inform you of your No Claim Bonus before the policy expiry date.

The Road Tax is a tax that you need to pay each year at the local office of the Department of Land Transport. The rate of taxation is determined according to the engine size (Cubic meters, cc). In order to make the payment you will need to take along proof of the compulsory insurance in force, and the car registration Blue Book . The Road tax is issued in the form of a sticker which you have to display on your windscreen to prove that the tax has been paid and until when it is valid.

You can renew online your Road Tax online at https://bit.ly/2G3qY6g The information you must prepare is only the Compulsory policy number. We recommend you renew the Road Tax in advance (up to 3 months) before expiry date. Please, be informed that at the moment the online service is only available in Thai.

Many insurance providers only ask questions about the vehicle. This approach means no savings for good drivers: all drivers pay the same amount for the same vehicle.

Roojai.com uses additional parameters to calculate your personalized premium. Our objective is always to provide a fair price to every driver according to the level of risk we think each driver represents. This means that good drivers are rewarded, and do not have to subsidize the cost of bad drivers.

Although we look at several factors, including driving experience, type of car, past claims experience, marital status, car usage, it is true that on average younger drivers usually have higher premiums than older drivers. Data shows that on average, young and less experienced drivers have a higher occurrence of accidents. The premium is higher to address this situation.

Each car is manufactured differently. Most of the time, more expensive vehicles require higher premiums because their repair costs tend to be higher and spare parts are more expensive. Sometimes, cars of similar value might also have different prices as their repair costs may differ. Certain models also tend to attract riskier drivers and could justify a higher premium.

Of course! We offer great value insurance for your new car. Your car dealer will encourage you to buy insurance from them as they receive a very high commission from the insurance company. You can refuse to buy car insurance from them and buy it by yourself. If you want to buy a new car and insure it with Roojai.com, you can get a quote online from Roojai.com within minutes or call us on 02 582 8866

1. Named driver plan: If you choose this plan, all drivers of the vehicle must be named in the policy. The full insurance cover is limited to the driver(s) named in the policy. If the car is driven by somebody not named in the policy, the cover will be reduced, and some damages might not be covered. By choosing this type of option, you will save the most.
2. Any driver 30 years old and more plan: For this type of plan, only the main driver needs to be declared on the policy. Occasional drivers aged 30 years or above can drive the car without having to be named in the policy. However, if the vehicle is driven by someone aged less than 30 years, the insurance coverage will be reduced, and additional excesses will apply. This is the second cheapest Roojai.com plan.
3. · Any driver 25 years old and more plan: For this type of plan, only the main driver needs to be declared on the policy. Occasional drivers aged 25 years or above can drive the car without having to be named in the policy. However, if the vehicle is driven by someone aged less than 25 years, the insurance coverage will be reduced, and additional excesses will apply.
4. Any driver plan: In this type of plan, anybody (with an official driving licence) can drive the car as long as he/she is authorized by the policy holder to drive the car.

The main driver is the person who drives the car most of the time. He/she does not need to own the car and does not need to be the policy holder. This information allows us to give the fairest price for the risk by knowing who is driving the car most of the time.

We divide car usage into two categories:

1. “This car is used to travel to or from work or during the workday” means that you are driving to work or using the car during the course of work to drive to meetings for example, as well as using the car for your personal matters.
2. “Personal Matters” means you are only using your car in a private capacity: travelling for holidays, going shopping, driving the kids to school, etc. This car usage category excludes driving to and from work as well as using the car during the working day.

IMPORTANT: Please note that commercial usage vehicles and vehicles transporting passengers for a fee are strictly prohibited under the policy and will void the cover. “Commercial usage” means the car is used as a working tool for transportation of goods, delivery service, or as courier. Vehicles transporting passengers for a fee includes all types of taxi, ride or limousine services.

You can pay your premium using one of the following methods:

• Credit card or Debit card
