E-Hailing Insurance
Understand Your Insurance Requirements
If you plan to become an e-hailing driver in Malaysia, your vehicle must have the appropriate insurance coverage before you begin accepting passenger bookings.
E-hailing insurance is additional coverage that complements your private motor insurance while your vehicle is being used for commercial ride-hailing services.
Step 1: Check Your Vehicle Insurance
Before applying as an e-hailing driver, ensure your vehicle has:
- Valid private motor insurance
- Valid road tax
- A privately owned vehicle registered in Malaysia
- A vehicle that meets the platform’s eligibility requirements
Having these documents ready helps speed up the registration process.
Step 2: Choose Your E-Hailing Insurance
Annual E-Hailing Insurance
Annual e-hailing insurance is an extension to your existing private motor insurance. It provides coverage throughout your insurance policy period and is suitable for drivers who drive regularly.
Daily E-Hailing Insurance
Some platforms offer optional daily e-hailing insurance that is activated only on the days you drive. This option is ideal for part-time or occasional drivers where available.
Step 3: Prepare Your Documents
Before submitting your registration, prepare the following:
- Insurance Cover Note
- Motor Insurance Schedule
- Vehicle Registration Card (Grant)
- Driving Licence
- Identity Card (MyKad)
Ensure all uploaded documents are clear, complete and valid to avoid delays during verification.
