semper48 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Back in my country, if I dont use a car, I can take the numberplates off of it and hand them in (to the car registration office). Thus saving on insurance and road tax. I would however need to insure it for fire and theft. How does one do something like this with a Thai car? When buying a car on finance, the financing company will automatically demand first class insurance. Would this still be the cas said car was (temporarily) unregistered? What say you; farang and other besserwissers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, normally if you have your vehicle on finance you have to have 1st Class cover as it is in the finance contract – 2nd Class is not sufficient.

ajahnlau Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 You can't cancel reg. or comp. ins. in Thailand and expect a refund. Best to leave 1st class alone if you want the coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 So how does the finance cmpany "demand" 1st class insurance once you have the car, say in year 2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not have the 1st Class they 'try' to sell you then they will ask for a copy of the policy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
