Langsuan Man Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Paid my annual renewal fee of 18,000 THB for First Class insurance through TIB (Toyota Insurance Broker) mid March and can't seem to get the sticker for my windshield (windscreen) Have tried email, fax and telephone calls to both TIB and Viriyah with no response Is this normal or just another TIT irritation ? Next year I will insure through AA Insurance Brokers (TV agent) who hopefully will be more responsive What worries me, is if these people can't even get me a simple sticker for 18 K, what kind of service can I expect if I have an accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaivisaInsurance Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 We are surprised Toyota did not explain that the insurance companies do not supply a 'sticker' for the CTPL anymore. The only 'sticker' for the windscreen is the Road Tax which, if you own the vehicle, you have to purchase from your local licensing office. Again surprised they did not explain this all to you !

Langsuan Man Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Do you mean that the sticker that I got last year when I purchased the car was a one off thing ? If true then I am surprised since both I and the Thai Girl asked the same question so it was not a language thing Edited April 27, 2011 by Langsuan Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I have two stickers, the road tax and the insurance sticker. As soon as the TG returns from LTD (paying this years Road Tax) I will take a picture for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderpuff Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Not required in Bangkok for a few years now. Not issued either. Just carry the paper in your glove box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 As mentioned, the compulsory insurance sticker is no longer supplied nor needed for a few years now. The only sticker you may get from the insurance company would be their contact information and also not required to put on the windscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langsuan Man Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 SOLVED The sticker that everyone says is no longer required nor issued was sitting at the Chonburi Toyota dealer, where they expected me to pick it up, rather than mailing it to me Thanks for all the information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamalabob2 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I've been with the same auto insurance company for several years, have yet to make a claim, but if I am not mistaken they are largest auto insurance company in Thailand. While it may no longer be mandatory to display the insurance sticker in your window, it makes me feel better it is posted so when we drive through the many Police Road check points since the road tax sticker AND the insurance sticker are prominently displayed they do not seem to ever stop us. Now driving too long in the the "passing lane" on Highway 2 North of Korat as you come around a corner, that is a different Highway Police "check (or 100 baht) point" and stickers seem to not be the issue. Taking beer money from Farang can quickly change driving habits. But the normal police SEEM to take note of the stickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 SOLVED The sticker that everyone says is no longer required nor issued was sitting at the Chonburi Toyota dealer, where they expected me to pick it up, rather than mailing it to me Thanks for all the information Not been required for 6 years. paying road tax is only possible if proof of valid insurance is provided to DLT, thus tax sticker indicates insurance is payed. Even if car is financed, road tax can be payed directly to DLT by showing copy of reg book, and avoiding financecompanies fee for collecting road tax. Sticker issued when tax payed The sticker displayed here from VIRIYHA is nice to have when in accident, as phonenumber is easily available. Also reminds when Insurance expires. I recomend to NOT keep original Insurance docs in car. If theft or fire, some difficult Insurance companies require to see original Insurance docs before paying. Keep COPY and claim form in car. yesterday I canselled the remainer of my Insurance. 6 months left. Insurance company required original Insurance docs before issuing a refund check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrry Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The op specified first class insurance. Most replies have been about compulsory Third Class. With First class the sticker is only provided as a service. If it is on the screen and you have an accident and are hurt and unable to phone the insurance agent someone can see which one to contact. Third class no longer has to be displayed and is generally no longer issued as it is on the computer record of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the CTPL (and not the voluntary Third Class) then the policy is issued - even though it tends to be just a single sheet of paper.

curtklay Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I just renewed with Viriyah. Got both stickers. Maybe I don't need them, but like the OP says the local cops seem to like them and never stop me at road checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
