This year, over 20 motor insurance companies including Berjaya Sompo were being evaluated, with Berjaya Sompo’s SOMPO Motor being lauded as the runner-up for the Best Car Insurance in Malaysia.

Chief Executive Officer for Berjaya Sompo, Mr Tan Sek Kee said, “Berjaya Sompo is honoured to receive the prestigious iBanding Motor Insurance Awards 2024, a testament to our unwavering commitment to exceptional service and customer satisfaction in the motor insurance sector. It is also aligned with our vision of ‘We Are Here With You’ where we are committed to being the leading general insurer of choice by providing the right solutions for individual and commercial needs.”

“Our enhanced SOMPO Motor coverage reflects our dedication to providing comprehensive coverage, valuable road assistance, and peace of mind to Malaysian drivers. We are proud to set new standards in the industry and remain dedicated to empowering our policyholders for a safer, worry-free journey ahead,” he continued.

Organized by the unbiased, educational platform iBanding Services Sdn Bhd (“iBanding”), the awards highlight the industry's top performers, reflecting genuine customer experiences and satisfaction levels. Celebrating its continued tradition, the awards leverage rigorous research and direct feedback from thousands of Malaysian drivers to identify the leaders in motor insurance. Participants in the survey not only contribute to shaping the industry’s standards but also stand a chance to win exciting prizes.

Chang, iBanding’s Director, noted, "The rankings guide consumers to the most suitable insurance partners for them. In a post-Detariffication era, price comparison is crucial, but the value extends beyond cost savings. Our ratings unveil which providers offer premier services comparable to a 5-star experience and which are more economical. Berjaya Sompo has set themselves apart in Malaysia with their outstanding offerings."

About SOMPO Motor and SOMPO MotorSafe
In a move to offer greater protection and convenience to Malaysian drivers, Berjaya Sompo recently upgraded the SOMPO Motor policy to provide comprehensive coverage against unforeseen events and valuable road assistance, ensuring policyholders are well-equipped for any journey.  SOMPO Motor is a private car comprehensive insurance policy that covers policyholders for accidental or fire damage to their vehicle, theft of their vehicle, and liability to other parties for injury or death and damage to other parties' property.

Recognising the rising threat of floods, landslides, and storms, Berjaya Sompo has increased the coverage for "Convulsion of Nature" benefits to 100% of the insured policy sum. The enhancement also offers customers free 24-hour unlimited towing for both accidents and breakdowns. These features are also accessible through the user-friendly MySOMPO mobile app. This valuable add-on eliminates stress and provides immediate assistance, regardless of the time or location.

This enhancement is part of Berjaya Sompo’s The Good Driver – a campaign under The Good Policy – where we strive to ensure our policyholders are well-prepared for any situations. The Good Driver also seeks to go beyond basic motor protection. It's about educating and empowering the public on car care, safety, and financial security.

The Good Policy is Berjaya Sompo’s ESG brand proposition, driven by our vision of 'We Are Here With You'. It's all about empowering Malaysians for a brighter tomorrow by enhancing their overall well-being.

SOMPO MotorSafe is a motor insurance plan that lets customers choose a mileage plan based on how far they drive in a year, allowing them to pay a lower premium when they drive less while providing comprehensive coverage.
