The inspection fee is around $20 and it only takes you less than 10 minutes there. We will reimburse you $30 total, directly to your bank account, even before you do the inspection.

For the list of inspection centres, click HERE. We recommend you to do the inspection at STA – 302 Sin Ming Road.

In Singapore, you will need to pay tolls and parking by inserting a NETS Cashcard into the IU (In-vehicle Unit) in your motorbike before you ride.

You can buy a cashcard from any convenience store (7-Eleven, gas station, etc).

The Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) is an electronic road toll system in Singapore. When your motorbike pass through a ERP gantry, a toll is automatically deducted from your cashcard without stopping or slowing down. Toll value varies from $0 to $2.5 for motorbikes for each ERP passing through.

Parking works the same way. The gantry reads cashcard remotely through IU. Parking rate varies from $0.65 to $4.0 per day.

Accidents

You will need to pay for these charges upfront:

  1. Insurance excess amount ($1,500 to $3,000). More details HERE.
  2. Payment to repair our vehicle, maximum $3,000.

It will takes around 3 to 12 months for the accident investigation. If the result is NOT your fault, you will get back all of the above amounts.

You will NOT have to pay for insurance excess amount if you choose to settle the damages directly with 3rd party through Private Settlement (recommended).

If you think this is likely your fault, we recommend you to do a Private Settlement directly with the 3rd party to save money on insurance excess ($1,500 to $3,000). This is much faster and cheaper because you will not have to go through the normal insurance claim procedure, and there is no waiting time for police investigation.

  • Settle the damages directly with the 3rd party.
  • Fill this Private Settlement Form with them.
  • Send us a copy of the above signed form.

Please ignore this in case you choose to do Private Settlement.

  1. Go to IDAC at 1007 Bukit Merah Lane 3, Singapore 159721 to do Accident Report (8:30am – 5:30pm, Monday – Friday. Contact: +65 6898 0055). You can fill this pre-stamped sketch form to save your time there.
  2. If there was injury in the accident, file a traffic accident report at any police station or online HERE.
  3. IDAC will record accident facts, including vehicle photos/conditions and send the information to NTUC Income – our insurer.
  4. Insurance companies representing both of you and the 3rd party will check the facts and negotiate for damage payment. This process normally takes 3-12 months.
  5. In the meantime, AloRide will withhold the excess amount (S$1,500 to S$3000) at the accident time, in order to cover for future claim from NTUC Income.

Insurance Excess is the out-of-pocket amount you have to pay when our Insurer (NTUC Income) have to pay for the damages. Our insurance policy coverage is Third-Party Only, so in case of accident and it’s your fault, the Insurer will not pay for your rental motorbike repair.

For example, if your standard excess is $1,500 and the 3rd party damage claim is $8,000, that means you’ll have to pay $1,500, while our Insurer pays the remaining $6,500.

Please note that:

  • You will not have to pay insurance excess if you choose to settle the damages directly with 3rd party (recommended).
  • You still have to pay for our motorbike repair.
  • If it turns out that it’s NOT your fault, you will get back all the money since the 3rd party’s Insurer has to cover everything.

  1. Get the plate numbers, NRIC/ FIN, phone numbers of all vehicles involved, and witnesses. Take photos.
  2. If this is likely your fault, we recommend you to do a Private Settlement directly with the 3rd party to save time and money on insurance excess.
  3. Call 999 to make a police report if there is an injury or online HERE.
  4. Send us your exact location through Whatsapp by using our Locator tool to tow the bike.
  5. Call James (HKL) at +65 9242 3895. He will instruct you on the next steps for Accident Reporting/Claiming.
