Berjaya Sompo has just launched SOMPO MotorSafe in Malaysia today, an innovative usage-based telematics motor insurance coverage suitable for low mileage drivers with the flexibility of paying according to their mileage driven. It has three (3) different mileage plans to suit the usage of each vehicle at an affordable premium, namely: up to 5,000 km, up to 10,000 km and up to 15,000 km. Customers can choose from 3 available mileage plans with a top-up to the next available plan or full-mileage plan if they are about to exceed the chosen mileage.
Mr Tan Sek Kee, Chief Executive Officer of Berjaya Sompo, said, “At Berjaya Sompo, we seek to provide the best value for our customers’ insurance coverage. With SOMPO Motorsafe, we have designed a policy that allows customers to choose a coverage according to their mileage needs at the discounted premium rates while still enjoying comprehensive protection. By using telematics technology, we are able to safeguard our customers’ driving journeys without them having to face any financial difficulties.”
Each telematics SOMPO MotorSafe Policy comes with a Bluetooth-enabled, battery-powered SOMPO Tag paired with the SOMPO MotorSafe app which tracks the vehicle’s mileage use as well as provide safety assistance. If the car breaks down or during an emergency, the driver simply needs to hold down the button for 2 seconds, and the SOMPO helpline will call the driver to provide assistance, named bCall and eCall respectively. Additionally, the SOMPO Tag is equipped with an Automatic Driver Recognition system which can detect severe crashes via your smartphone. To instil good driving practice, the insured driver will also receive real-time friendly “beeping” alerts should he or she text and drive. The SOMPO MotorSafe app also has a feature to remind policyholders to top up their mileage plan.
SOMPO MotorSafe covers loss or damage to the vehicle due to accident, fire and theft, third- party injury, death, or property damage if travelled within the chosen mileage. Other benefits under the Policy include SOMPO 24-Hour Rakan Auto Assist, SOMPO Repair Warranty of 12 months, All Drivers Cover, and Special Perils Coverage.
