Why should you secure independent motor insurance through Kwiksure?

1Your current insurer may not allow clients to extend coverage

Currently, not all insurers in Hong Kong take part in the "unilateral recognition" policy, meaning that your car insurer may not be able to add insurance for the Mainland to your existing policy.

2Some insurers may take a long time to issue policies

Due to the strong demand for additional coverage under the NTHKV Scheme, many insurers have to suddenly process a lot of applications, and it may take them weeks to approve your application for coverage under the "unilateral recognition" policy.

3Some insurers may charge a handling fee

Some insurers (or the relevant insurance intermediaries) may charge a handling fee before processing your application for "unilateral recognition" coverage.

4Your current policy is about to expire

If your existing car insurance has less than one month remaining, you may have to wait until your policy is renewed before applying for “unilateral recognition” coverage. This may create more inconvenience than it’s worth, and it could well be better to directly secure independent car insurance for the Mainland.

5Your official policy/official policy number has yet to be issued

If your existing policy has not been issued for whatever reason, your insurer may need to wait until the policy is officially issued before processing your application for “unilateral recognition” coverage. In that case, it may well be better to secure car insurance for the Mainland directly.

CTALI for Motor Vehicle is the mandatory car insurance in the Mainland. It provides compensation to third parties for death, bodily injury or damage to property in a traffic accident involving the insured vehicle. However, it does not cover the insured vehicle itself, or its driver or passengers.
