Licence Conversion Class 2B and Insurance

[vaibhav.narayan]

Hi,

 

I have a foreign driving license issued in year 2004. Now, I am giving my BTT this weekend to get my licence converted to a Singapore Driving Licence.

 

My enquiry is that will my insurance company count me as a new driver when quoting for insurance as my SDL date of issue will be 2009 only or will it consider that I have significant driving experience since the date of issue of my foreign licence is in 2004.

 

Thanks

Insurance quotes based on age, years of experience, nature of job... blah blah blah... Date of issue i have not heard of...

The insurance will base on your age & driving experience even if u just get BTT now. It's a paper procedure for TP to convert foreign to sg licence.

it will base on ur spore license date.. meaning ur foreign experience doesnt counts.. at least its true for my colleague... he had msia license ard 6-7 years but juz converted to SG license last yr and ins. company quote his ins. according to the date he got his SG license.

They request my Malaysia license for buying the insurance, it get cheaper:)

Riding/Driving ecp.: since 2002(but i show them is 2004 renewed license, coz i'm not bring my expired license to prove that i was passed on 2002).

According my exp. last year,

i pass 2B (Conversion to Class 2B and 3),

if base on my pass date(SG license), my ins.(3rd party) about S$500+-,

they request my Malaysia license, i just pay about S$300 for 3rd party.
