Honda Malaysia has introduced an enhanced version of the Honda Insurance Plus (HiP). First introduced in 2002, the HiP functions to provide comprehensive protection and coverage to all Honda customers in various situations. The newly enhanced HiP package delivers the benefits of Rescue, Protection and Savings.
Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Toichi Ishiyama said, “As a car owner myself, I understand the importance of having the peace of mind knowing that my passengers and I are well-protected throughout the ownership of the car.
The first benefit, Rescue, entails the Honda Insurance Plus rescue team which are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The exclusive HiP privileges and services include a 24/7 towing assistance* in case of accidents, breakdowns and floods.
The cars will be sent to any Honda authorised Body & Paint Centre within a 450km round trip from the location while the roadside repair service offers free labour of up to RM200 per event, excluding spare parts. 24/7 roadside repair services are also available for unforeseen incidences.
The second benefit, Protection, provides high quality workmanship on all body and paint repairs at all Honda Authorised Body & Paint Centres. Only 100% of Honda genuine body and parts replacements are used. The genuine parts come with a 6-month or 10,000km warranty.
HiP members whose cars are repaired at a Honda Authorised Body & Paint Centre will receive speedy claim pre-approval for claims below RM20,000*. Besides that, HiP members will be given medical assistance** such as medical referral and arrangement of appointments, dispatch of medications which are not available locally, and medical evacuation or repatriation if required.
As an additional new protection benefit, a HiP member is now entitled to Personal Accident Coverage of up to RM15,000* in the event of Accidental Death or Permanent Disability in the Named Vehicle Car accident.
The third benefit is Savings, which has received the most enhancement in the overall package. HiP 100% insurance payout in case of theft or damage is now available for cars up to 13 years of age, an increase from the previous 10-year cap.
Other newly introduced privileges include:
- Unnamed Driver - whereby the HiP provides coverage for all drivers under private registration with no additional names and compulsory excess payment required
- flood allowance of up to RM1,500*
- special relief allowance of RM1,500* in the event of car theft or total loss and RM1,000* for lost key reimbursement.
Apart from that, HiP members are also entitled to a 100% coverage for 10 years with no betterment fee that allows old parts of a Honda car damaged due to accident to be replaced with new original parts.
All existing and new Honda customers can renew and apply their HiP at any nearest Honda authorised dealers. For more information, customers can call Honda’s Toll Free number at 1-800-88-2020 or log on to www.honda.com.my to discover more about the enhanced Honda Insurance Plus.
