Rental-car excess cover · Singapore travellers

Your rental’s insurance stops where the damage starts.

The counter sells you “full cover” — then leaves you liable for the excess, up to SGD10,000 or 1 claim per policy, plus the parts they quietly exclude. RoadPlus+ covers what they won’t.

The gap you didn’t know you had

Collision Damage Waiver is not what it seems.

CDW looks like full cover until you read the exclusions. Here is what three real incidents cost you with the rental company’s basic CDW, and with RoadPlus+. Japan, Thailand and New Zealand are all in the Asia Pacific plan. Each example is a 7-day trip at SGD198.

A tight multi-storey car park. A scraped bumper and a cracked wheel. You barely felt it.

Frequently asked questions

What is RoadPlus+ and what does it cover?

RoadPlus+ is an Excess Protection product that reimburses you for out-of-pocket charges when something goes wrong with your rental car overseas. It covers rental excess charges, damage excluded by basic CDW (tyres, windscreen, underbody), rental company fees (admin, towing, loss-of-use), theft, vandalism, and weather damage. Policy limit is up to SGD10,000 or 1 claim per policy, whichever is reached first.

Who distributes and underwrites RoadPlus+?

RoadPlus+ is distributed by Trade Risk Solutions, a MAS-licensed insurance broker, and underwritten by ECICS Insurance Singapore — so your policy is backed by a licensed Singapore insurer.

How is RoadPlus+ different from rental counter insurance?

RoadPlus+ is purchased before your trip at a fixed price, saving you from expensive daily rental-counter charges (SGD20–40/day). It covers items often excluded by basic CDW like tyres, windscreens, and underbody. Claims are handled locally in Singapore via WhatsApp, not through an overseas call centre.

Which countries are covered under the APAC plan?

The APAC Plan covers 21 countries: Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, India, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, and Timor-Leste.

What does the Worldwide plan cover?

The Worldwide Plan covers all of the world excluding the USA, Afghanistan, Belarus, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Libya, Liberia, North Korea, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, the territories of Crimea (including Sevastopol, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson), and any country which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore advises against travelling to or recommends postponing travel to.

Do I still need CDW from the rental company?

Yes, RoadPlus+ requires you to have at least the basic Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) from the rental company. RoadPlus+ works alongside your rental coverage to reimburse the excess charges and fees that CDW doesn’t cover. It does not replace rental insurance.

What vehicle types are covered?

Most rental cars including sedans, SUVs, and EVs are covered. Excluded vehicles include: trucks, vans, buses, motorcycles, scooters, motorhomes, RVs, campervans, and performance/racing vehicles. Peer-to-peer car-sharing rentals (e.g. Turo) are not covered.

Are additional drivers covered?

Yes, all additional drivers listed on the rental agreement are automatically covered under your RoadPlus+ policy. You must be the primary renter, and additional drivers must hold a valid Singapore Driving license.
