Ready to bid your old car goodbye, but wary about the steep cost of a brand-new model? Buying second-hand could be the answer. Here's what you need to get a good deal out of it.

Tips for buying second-hand cars in Singapore 2025

Opting for minimum coverage might save you a little money at the start, but inadequate coverage may prove costlier in the long term.

A study reveals that medical costs associated with traffic-related injuries in Singapore ranges between S$12,000 and S$163,000, depending on the severity7. Meanwhile, another estimate puts the cost of a full repair of batteries for hybrid cars at over S$10,0008.

These costs will keep rising. That’s why you need to shield yourself against these expenses with a Comprehensive insurance policy that provides a holistic coverage against a wide range of motoring accidents.

Safeguard your drive with enhanced protection, hassle-free claims processing, and 24/7 accident assistance in select cities.
