At the Workshop (Own Damage & Third Party Claims)
If you are claiming under your policy (Own Damage Claim):
If you are claiming against the insurer (Third Party Claim):
Theft of Vehicle
Windscreen Damage
In the event of a windscreen damage (provided there is no further damage to the Motor Vehicle), depending on the terms of your policy, you may choose to bring your vehicle to the Distributor (AutoExcel Plan), our Authorized Workshop (AutoSafe Plan) or Windscreen Workshop. An excess may be applicable.
The distributor/workshop will handle the claim by submitting a preliminary estimate of the repairs to our office for assessment. We shall then proceed to authorise the distributor/workshop to carry out repair works accordingly.
You may enquire about windscreen repair (instead of replacement) from our windscreen workshops. Where conditions are met, the waiting time is much shorter and excess can be waived.
Frequently Asked Question
1. If I do not intent to make any claim or my vehicle is not damage, do I still need to make the accident report?
In the event of any accident involving the motor vehicle, irrespective of whether it would give rise to a claim or not, the driver shall report the accident to any of the Accident Reporting Centres with his/her accident vehicle (whether damaged or not) for photo taking within 24 hours or by the next working day, regardless if there is any visible damage, and irrespective of whether you are claiming from any insurer or third party. Failure to report within 24 hours of the accident may affect your NCD upon renewal.
2. What should I do if the accident happened outside of Singapore?
If your vehicle is involved in an accident with another vehicle in Malaysia, please report the accident to the local authorities within 24 hours. In the event the vehicle can no longer be driven, please contact our Authorised Workshop for towing services. You may contact us at +65 6389 6116 (Claims Department) for assistance during office hours (9am – 5pm). When you return to Singapore, please proceed with the following procedures for accident reporting:

3. What do I do when I received a letter from a third party lawyer related to the accident?
In the event you receive a third party claim from the owner of the other vehicle(s) or his/their appointed representative, please contact us @ +65 6389 6116 or email us (claimsdept@sg.cntaiping.com) immediately with all attached documents upon receipt.

6. Do I still need to report the accident if I had completed the Private Settlement/Memorandum of agreement with the involved parties?
Yes. You will still need to lodge the accident report at our Authorised Reporting Centre as the agreement does not supersede the MCF process. A private settlement/Memorandum of agreement is a private matter between the two parties, but it would not change the requirement under MCF. You can read up more from the GIA- Motor Claim Framework (MCF).
