Motor Excess Reduction
Collision Damage Waiver

Who can purchase Gigacover MER/CDW?
Gigacover CDW is made for both vehicle owners and private hire drivers in Singapore who rent their passenger motor vehicles from rental companies.

The insured should have a valid driver’s license or Taxi Driver’s Vocational Licence (TDVL) or Private Hire Car Driver’s Vocational Licence (PDVL).
How do I know what level of excess coverage I should select?
Section 1 (Own Damage) excess typically refers to the amount you need to pay for accidental loss or damage to the vehicle you rent/ own.

Section 2 (3rd Party) excess typically refers to the amount you need to pay for accidental injury, loss, or damage caused to a 3rd party by the vehicle you rent/ own.

You should select a level of coverage for CDW that is the same as that of the excess indicated:- on your rental contract (if you are renting, not the vehicle owner)- primary motor insurance (if you are the vehicle owner)You should not purchase a CDW policy with higher excess than the maximum excess liability stated on your rental contract/primary motor insurance. In the event of a claim, the insurer will not be able to pay more than the excess indicated on your rental contract/ primary motor insurance.

We do not recommend purchasing a CDW policy with lower excess than what is stated on your rental contract/primary motor insurance.

For example, your rental contract states that:
your Section 1 (Own Damage) excess is $1500, and
your Section 2 (3rd Party) excess is $2000,
You should select CDW excess of Section 1 = $1500 / Section 2 = $2000
Can I change the excess levels that are being covered?
No. Please contact [email protected] for assistance.

What are some exclusions that do not qualify to be claimed?

  • If your accident happens outside of Singapore
  • If the accident happened before the start of your policy coverage
  • If you are the insured party but were not the driver of the vehicle that got into the accident
  • If you bought a policy with MORE coverage than the maximum excess liability stated on your rental contract
What is the definition for Young & Inexperienced Driver?
For MER and CDW, young & inexperienced drivers (YIDs) are those who are younger than 25 years old and/or have less than 2 years of driving experience.

Do inform us if YIDs are driving your vehicles as there is additional premium loading to cover them.
