ORIGINAL POSTEREverything else, my car insurance is up for renewal . Been quoted 10,400b for number 2, same as last year. Does this seem about right.
car is about 10 year old and spends most of its time parked up in lopburi .

A Thai friend of mine pays about 25,000 a year for a Thai government insurance policy that covers anyone with a full driving licence to drive the vehicle. It also covers all medical and vehicle damage costs. You get what you pay for.

For me Roojai valuations are low on the amount they insure. For example trucks worth 1 million they insure for 780,000

i think many wont insure 1st class after 10 years old. my 15 year old fortuner cost around 6k at roojai for 2nd class. so the car itself is not covered but any damage it may do to other property or people is which is fine for such an old car for me

Roojai are very good, price & clear communication

@Ken ********
can insurance here is VERY different, the insurance is on the vehicle age and value not on the driver, and generally any one can drive as long as they have a licenceTerary **********
@Sylvia *******
- I am not entirely sure the license is necessary. You will want it if you get in an accident for insurance purposes...Sylvia ********
@Terary *********
some drive without license yes!! But police check ask tk see license so mainly only older people in the rural village. And of course same the world , no license automatically means no insuranceReply to

I paid 10,000 approx for 1st year with new car with Bangkok ins.. Inc compulsory insurance.
2nd year too expensive with Bkk ins... So went with Roojai

Edit..1st year free via Toyota

I am looking at buying a new Toyota Yaris or Honda City when we arrive in December so that quote looks reasonable I guess.George *********
@Michael *******
yes look at *****
baht for a new car insurance.But most dealers give first year free.
But second year high..so look at Roojai
Michael ********
@George ********
yes I have seen that when we were out there in September looking at cars. I did hear also that the second year they bump it up quite a bit so I will keep that name in mind.Cheers

I just renewed my car insurance as well. My car is also most of the time parking so I chose “Up to miles” Its mean I paid 6k only. This is good for less driving. Look for Tip Insure Company
