How Z-Miles works?

Z-Miles contribution has two components: you pay a low base contribution at the start of your certificate a plus a rate for each kilometre your car travels. For example, Suraya owns a Proton X70 and pays a RM965 yearly contribution for her car takaful. When Suraya signs up for Z-Miles:

When Suraya participate in Z-Miles, her upfront contribution is RM430. This covers:

  • RM330 for the base contribution for her third-party cover, and
  • a prepaid mileage contribution of RM100 for the comprehensive cover, which includes up to 2,000km.

The prepaid mileage contribution is calculated based on a rate of RM0.05 per km that is specific to Suraya's risk profile, and this rate is fixed throughout the coverage term unless Suraya makes changes to her certificate.

Z-Miles How it works 1

Here's how we work out Suraya's monthly mileage contribution: we'll subtract the kilometres Suraya drives from her prepaid mileage balance. At the end of the month or when her prepaid mileage reaches a balance of 400km in the month, Suraya needs to top-up her prepaid mileage to 2,000 km.

For example, if Suraya covers 500KM in a month, she'll pay RM25 (500KM x RM0.05) as the monthly mileage contribution. In short, Suraya's monthly mileage contribution will vary depending on her car usage.

Z-Miles How it works 2
If Suraya drives 500KM each month, the total cost for Z-Miles would be RM630. This includes (1) a base contribution of RM330 and (2) the total mileage contribution, minus the refund for any unused prepaid mileage, which is RM300 (6,000KM x RM0.05).
Z-Miles How it works 3
When compared to the RM965 she would have paid for an annual car takaful, Suraya saves RM335 with Z-Miles.

Frequently asked questions

We have a few restrictions in place and if you don’t fulfil the requirements below, you will not be able to get a Z-Miles policy/certificate from us at the moment:

  • Z-Miles policy/certificate is only available for individual policy/certificate holders only
  • When you first purchase/ participate in Z-Miles, your car’s sum insured/covered must be between RM30,000 and RM500,000
  • Your car must have a working 12V socket to power the Z-Miles device
  • You agree to plug in the Z-Miles Device in your car during the duration of cover

The idea behind Z-Miles is simple.
If your car is not in use, you’ve a lower risk of getting into an accident and making a claim. So, if you drive less frequently, you might be paying more than you need for your insurance/takaful. With Z-Miles, you pay upfront:

  1. An annual base premium/contribution to cover your car against third party liabilities and when your car is parked for the insurance/certificate period of coverage, and
  2. Prepaid mileage premium/contribution that covers your driving for 2,000 km, based on a
    per-kilometre rate that is specific to you.

Automatic billing feature:

  • After each trip, the distance your car has travelled gets deducted from the prepaid mileage. Your prepaid mileage balance will be automatically topped up monthly, or when it falls below 400 km during the month to ensure your car always has comprehensive coverage.
  • Top-up mileage premium/contribution is calculated by multiplying the per-kilometre rate by the mileage needed to bring the prepaid mileage back to 2,000 km.
  • To help you control your insurance/takaful cost, we’ve set limits on the mileage you pay for. You’ll never be charged for more than 400 km in a day, this simply means, if you drive more than 400 km in a day – any extra distance you drive is on us! We’ll never charge you for more than 15,000 km a year either.

We’ll refund/return any unused prepaid mileage at the end of the period of insurance/certificate coverage. In other words, you only pay for the kilometres your car is driven – similar to a mobile phone bill.

There's no mileage limit - you can drive as much as you like. We've designed Z-Miles to save lower mileage drivers money, but we don't enforce a limit on how many kilometres you can drive.

However, to help you control your insurance/takaful cost, we’ve set limits on the mileage you pay for. You’ll never be charged for more than 400 km in a day or 15,000 km for the year. This simply means, if you drive more than 400 km in a day or 15,000 km in a year – any extra distance you drive is on us!

If you don’t drive in a given month, you won’t be charged any premium/contribution at all for that month.
