Lonpac Insurance

Tier S · Recommended

Malaysia's home-grown engineering-class specialist

The operating arm of LPI Capital and a leading domestic insurer consistently cited among the top CAR/engineering carriers in Malaysia — it publishes its own CAR wordings and Product Disclosure Sheets.

Pros

+ Dedicated Engineering & Machinery line incl. CAR
+ Publicly downloadable CAR PDS/wording
+ Deep local underwriting knowledge
+ Wide nationwide agency reach

Cons

− No online quote — agent/broker only
− Smaller global balance sheet than Allianz/Zurich for mega-projects
− Sparse product pages (need the PDF PDS)
− Commercial lines not self-serve

Malaysia note

A Malaysian-owned default market for contractors' CAR/EAR — strongly broker- and agency-distributed, reaching SME and bumiputera-contractor business through its nationwide agency force.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Quote-only; rated on sum insured/contract value; market band ~0.08–0.30% (indicative).

Zurich General Malaysia

Tier S · Recommended

Global Zurich brand — with a Shariah CAR/EAR Takaful option

The local arm of the global Zurich Group, offering a combined CAR/EAR all-risks product covering both civil and M&E works — and running a parallel Takaful range (CAR Takaful, EAR Takaful).

Pros

+ Combined CAR/EAR all-risks product
+ A dedicated Shariah-compliant Takaful alternative
+ Global Zurich reinsurance
+ Wide extension menu (SRCC, transit, cross-liability)

Cons

− Commercial CAR/EAR quote-only
− Two parallel ranges (conventional vs Takaful) can confuse buyers
− Pricing not published
− Broker/intermediary dependent

Malaysia note

The conventional-plus-Takaful pairing is a genuine Malaysia differentiator for bumiputera, Islamic-finance-linked and government-linked projects that need a Shariah-compliant CAR/EAR.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Quote-only; rated on contract value/sum insured; ~0.08–0.30% (indicative).
