Question 1

How much does Class 1 insurance for a BYD Atto 3 (Dealer Garage) cost?

Accepted Answer

Class 1 insurance for a BYD Atto 3 with Rêver Automotive dealer repairs starts at 14,505 THB per year. This plan covers both the vehicle and the battery, with a 10-month 0% interest installment option available (approx. 1,596 THB/month) without needing a credit card.

Question 2

If I scrape the undercarriage, is the Blade Battery covered?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is covered. The 60.5 kWh Blade Battery in the Atto 3 is valued at over 300,000 THB. Our plan provides up to 100% coverage for the battery's value in the event of a severe accident requiring a replacement, subject to policy terms.

Question 3

Is the Panoramic Roof covered if it cracks from a flying rock?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Class 1 insurance covers it fully. Replacing the full Panoramic Roof on an Atto 3 can cost over 80,000 THB, but our insurance plan covers accidental breakage without additional charges.

Question 4

Does insurance cover recalibration if the DiPilot sensors are damaged in a minor collision?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If an accident damages the cameras or radar sensors of the DiPilot system, Class 1 insurance covers the genuine parts and the labor costs for recalibration at a Rêver service center to ensure the ADAS functions perfectly.

Question 5

Is my home Wallbox charger covered if it breaks?

Accepted Answer

Standard car insurance typically does not cover home chargers. However, Atto 3 customers can purchase an optional Wallbox coverage add-on for a special price of just 400 THB per year.

Question 6

Does Class 1 insurance cover driving the Atto 3 through floods?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it provides standard Class 1 flood coverage. While the battery and e-Platform 3.0 are highly water-resistant, if floodwaters cause damage to the cabin or electrical systems, the insurance will cover the repair costs up to the sum insured.

Question 7

Is 24/7 Roadside Assistance included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is free. Our Class 1 insurance plan for electric SUVs like the Atto 3 includes 24-hour roadside and towing assistance to transport your vehicle to the nearest BYD service center or charging station if needed.

Question 8

How much do Atto 3 headlights and bumpers cost if I need to claim without a third party?

Accepted Answer

A Full LED headlight replacement starts at around 6,500 THB per side, while front and rear bumpers cost about 2,500 - 3,000 THB (excluding painting). If it's a single-car accident, you can claim it under Class 1 insurance, though an excess fee may apply depending on the incident details.

Question 9

What is the repair cost for a rear-end collision affecting the Atto 3 tail lights?

Accepted Answer

Atto 3 tail light parts vary by trim, typically ranging from 3,000 to 11,500 THB. If you are rear-ended (not at fault), the at-fault party's insurance or your Class 1 policy will cover the full replacement cost using genuine parts.

Question 10

Should I claim insurance if the AC is not cooling or the 12V battery dies quickly?

Accepted Answer

Issues like a lack of cooling, a noisy AC compressor, or a degraded 12V battery triggering system warnings are considered manufacturing defects or normal wear and tear. Therefore, you cannot claim these under car insurance. They must be addressed through a warranty claim at a BYD service center.

Question 11

Does insurance cover knocking sounds from the steering or suspension while driving?

Accepted Answer

Some users have reported rattling or knocking sounds from the steering column or suspension after some use. If this isn't caused by a severe pothole impact or accident, it should be inspected and claimed directly under the manufacturer's warranty at a service center, not through insurance.

Question 12

If the Atto 3 is my first EV, what should I look out for when buying insurance?

Accepted Answer

The Atto 3 is a great first EV. New EV owners should prioritize Class 1 Dealer Garage insurance that explicitly states its coverage for the Blade Battery. It's also advisable to choose a plan with high travel compensation in case you need to wait for body parts to be delivered from the central warehouse.

Question 13

Does standard Class 1 insurance cover using the Atto 3 for ride-hailing (Grab/Bolt)?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not. Standard personal Class 1 insurance (Code 110) does not cover vehicles used for public ride-hailing apps. If an accident occurs while carrying a paying passenger, the insurance company can deny the claim. You must purchase specific commercial use insurance for ride-hailing.

Question 14

What risks does insurance cover if I frequently drive the Atto 3 on cross-provincial trips?

Accepted Answer

Given the Atto 3's popularity for comfortable long-distance travel, Class 1 insurance mitigates risks such as rock impacts on the Panoramic Roof and accidents in remote areas (with 24/7 towing). It also allows you to utilize the extensive BYD repair network in various provinces like Chiang Mai and Chonburi.
