Is My Car Insured When a Guest Wants to Drive to Malaysia?

Yes, absolutely! Drive lah Protection applies to your car in the same way in both Singapore and Malaysia.
This means hosts enjoy the same level of coverage when the car is allowed for driving to Malaysia, as long as the host enables this feature.

How Can I Enable Malaysia Travel for My Car?

The choice of allowing travel to Malaysia is entirely up to the host. You can control this setting through the Key Rules section in your listing.
Cars enabled for Malaysia travel may experience higher demand.

Coverage Details for Cars Under 12 Years Old

Drive lah provides comprehensive insurance for cars rented on the platform for the exact rental period. This includes the following coverage:

  • Death or Injury to Third Parties – Unlimited coverage

  • Damage to Third-Party Property – Up to S$5,000,000

  • Loss or Damage to Your Vehicle (Accident Causes) – Up to the market value at the time of loss

  • Loss or Damage Due to Fire or Theft – Up to the market value at the time of loss

  • Personal Accident Benefits – Up to S$50,000

  • Medical Expenses – Up to S$1,000

  • Towing Services – Up to S$500 (includes windscreen cover)

Coverage for Cars Over 12 Years Old

For cars aged above 12 years, Drive lah provides third-party only insurance with the following coverage:

Death or Injury to Third Parties – Unlimited coverage

Damage to Third-Party Property – Up to S$5,000,000

Important Notes

Drive lah Protection is available for private host rentals only. For commercial host cars, the host provides their own insurance, not Drive lah.

If you allow travel to Malaysia, be sure to check all insurance coverage and host requirements to ensure everything is set up correctly for your guests.

Key Points to Remember:

  • Hosts can enable Malaysia travel in the Key Rules section of their listing.

  • Drive lah Protection applies in both Singapore and Malaysia.

  • For cars ≤12 years old, comprehensive insurance is provided.

  • For cars >12 years old, only third-party insurance is available.
