It is like that. Even if you go to Malaysia or Thailand, Road
Tax and insurance you cannot escape.
Motor Insurance premium (paid yearly) is dependant on:
- which company you go for
- what they cover you
- your age and driving experience
- Car make and model
- Category of car (Sports, MPV, Saloon, SUV etc)
- No of airbags (maybe)
- Engine Capacity (CC)
- No Claim Discount (NCD)
- Age of car
- Claims history
- Comprehensive coverage or 3rd party fire and theft (this is
only for paid up car, ie. car fully paid for).
It all depends, but ranges from about $600 - $6000.
Road Tax (paid half yearly or yearly), is dependant on engine
capacity and age of car.
For petrol cars,
a typical 1.6 litre car road tax about 760 per year.
a typical 2.0 litre car road tax about 1210 per year.
For Diesel cars only (not inclusive of commercial vehicles such
as lorries, vans),
road tax is (original road tax for specified engine capacity) +
(diesel tax of 1.5 times egine capacity).
lets say 1.6 litre diesel car, road tax is 760 + (1.25*1600) =
$2760 (indicative figures)
2 litre diesel car, road tax is 1210 + (1.25*2000) = $3710
