Giving OPC Drivers a Little Extra Help…
Off peak car owners are a lucky bunch. Not only do they get to pay less road tax (by up to
$500), they also get a rebate of $17,000 to put towards their COE and ARP costs. But the real
benefit, at least as far as some are concerned, is that they don’t have to sit in heavy traffic
during rush hour. Instead they can relax on the MRT or the bus, with a good novel, a fun
video game or, just maybe, an absorbing end of year report.
But our loveable Weekend Cars also let us enjoy the thrill of the open road, at times of the
week when the roads are indeed pretty open. In fact, if you’re an OPC driver, you probably get
to see the world of motoring in a far more flattering light than those who drive to work every
day. No worries at all about being late – except perhaps when trying to get your family to the
shopping mall before it closes!
Tackling the day e-licence
Of course, the OPC set-up isn’t always ideal. There are occasions when you simply have to
use your car during peak times – for example if someone in the family falls sick and needs
transport to the doctor, or when public transport simply isn’t quick enough for your needs.
But on these rare occasions, the day e-licence is just the ticket, as it were. Currently priced at
$20, you need to buy your e-licence before 23:59 the next day. They can be bought from
SingPost /AAS outlets (Automobile Association of Singapore), online or using a mobile device.
People can sometimes be in a rush when they suddenly need to drive during peak hours, so it
can be easy to forget to organise an e-licence. But you can be landed with a hefty fine if you
don’t, so ask those around you to bring the topic up before midnight next day; you won’t turn
into a pumpkin if it slips your mind, but those crystal slippers you had your eye on might have
to wait.
Drive less, pay less
Most OPC drivers, however, don’t encounter any problems, and often find it gives them the

best of both worlds. But here at DirectAsia.com we like to give our OPC customers even more
to grin about. Our Low Mileage Car Insurance – the first of its kind in Singapore – is rather like
our affordable, first class ‘standard’ car insurance, but comes with an important twist: it costs
even less!
It makes sense that if your drive less, you should pay less for your insurance. Together with
OPC drivers, this also applies to others who use a standard car infrequently; for example,
those who need a car for the school run, or those who have a second car. So if you drive less
than 8,000km a year in a regular private car, our ground-breaking Low Mileage Car Insurance
could be perfect for you too.
We understand that running a car in Singapore is not cheap, so our products have been
designed to fit in with your particular circumstances, and give you the best possible deal. Quite
simply, why pay more than you have to?
