AmGeneral Insurance unveils affordable Personal Accident Plan, Perfect Rider Plus

AmGeneral Insurance Berhad (“AmGeneral Insurance”) today launched the Perfect Rider Plus, a personal accident protection plan that provides coverage for the driver and its passengers in the event of bodily injury, death or disablement due to an accident while driving, riding, boarding or alighting from a named vehicle.

Perfect Rider Plus features and benefits have also been enhanced from Kurnia’s existing Perfect Rider plan, to offer affordability and comprehensiveness when combined with any private car comprehensive (PCC) motor insurance policy.

Christopher Tandy, Senior Vice President of Underwriting and Pricing, AmGeneral Insurance said, “We read the research done by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (Miros) which showed that an average of 18 people were killed on Malaysian roads daily and the figure is expected to rise to 29 by 2020. With these statistics in mind, it is the more reason for AmGeneral Insurance to design a more comprehensive personal accident plan that offers financial support. When a breakdown or an accident happens – the next concern is the cost of towing or medical treatment”.

With a premium of RM88, benefits of Perfect Rider Plus includes RM 10,000 each for accidental death and permanent disablement, medical expenses, and corrective dental / cosmetic surgery and ambulance fees.

As an additional benefit, Perfect Rider Plus provides compassionate flood expenses of up to RM1,500 and policyholders are protected 24-hours worldwide on accidental death and permanent disablement.

In addition to its benefits, value-added services includes Kurnia Auto-Assist (KAA), a 24-hours breakdown assistance and towing services by our KAA Riders aimed at protecting those who are always travelling or on-the-go.

"While we advocate safe driving, we cannot prevent all accidents from happening, however we can certainly ease the financial burden of our customers and their loved ones. Our KAA Riders compliments as a very helpful and effective emergency support when answering to roadside problems,” said Tandy.

“Perfect Rider Plus is a personal line product that is affordable, has comprehensive benefits, and it is a protection plan that can be purchased on top of any private car comprehensive (PCC) motor insurance policy that is available in the market. A protection plan that seeks to provide AmGeneral Insurance's customers peace of mind, protected against unfortunate events," added Tandy.
