“Vehicular incidents were the top contributor to work-related fatalities last year, with 14 cases, making up one-third of all fatal injuries. Half of all vehicular-related incidents occurred within worksites, while the other half were on public roads.”
~ Mr Zaqy Mohamad Minister of State for Manpower

Vehicle as a tool for business
For most businesses in Singapore, the commercial vehicle plays an integral part in their daily activities, forming also a huge portion of the company’s assets. It is used for traveling between work sites, transporting human resource, products or just simply making a sales call. As the dynamics of businesses grow, the need for different coverage grow with it. Stemming from a simple mandatory requirement, vehicular insurance has evolved into an important component of financial planning for any business. Protecting the asset, user, and products are paramount thoughts of any business owner. For whatever reasons, there are different types of insurance to suit every need.
