Fire Insurance
Protect your property and inventory from fire-related incidents.
While there’s plenty that we can do to prevent the unfortunate event of a fire, fire outbreaks can happen at the most unexpected of times. If it does happen, we’re here to make sure your finances aren’t burned, too.
Our Fire Insurance is designed to cover the losses or damages to your property and personal belongings that are caused by fire, lightning or explosion caused by gas used for domestic purposes.
Important Notice on Fire Takaful Cost Calculation
Under-insured / under-coverage for fire of your property can lead to inadequate compensation due to the application of average clause. To get a quick insurance / Takaful coverage estimate for your property (ie. residential properties, simple shop houses and shop offices), you may use the Building Cost Calculator, which is jointly developed by Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM) and the Malaysia Takaful Association (MTA). Do note that the calculator provides an estimate of the rebuilding cost of your property for evaluation purposes only, and does not guarantee the actual amount that the we may agree to cover your property for.
The fire insurance policy covers losses or damages to your insured property i.e. your private residence and its contents; that are caused by fire, lightning or explosion of domestic boilers and gas used for domestic purposes only during the period of insurance.
You may extend your policy to cover the following perils by paying additional premium:
- Aircraft damage
- Earthquake and volcanic eruption
- Storm, tempest
- Flood
- Explosion
- Impact damage
- Bursting or overflowing of water tanks, apparatus or pipes
- Bush / lalang fire
- Subsidence and landslip
- Riot, strike and malicious damage
- Damage by falling trees or branches and objects
Note: You need to renew your fire insurance policy every year.
The coverage is based on the cost of restoring the damaged property or replacing it with a property that is similar in condition to that of the time when the loss occurred.
For Your Property
The current cost of reconstructing the building back to its original form, minus deduction justified for betterment.
Betterment is an addition/alteration to your property which results in it being in a better condition than before the fire incident, for e.g. remodelling the kitchen with cabinets that are more expensive than the original cabinets.
