How to Renew Car Insurance and Road Tax in Malaysia Easily with Drive+

Rising car costs got you down? In Malaysia, drivers are feeling the pinch from subsidy reforms and inflation. The 2025 Budget removed RON95 fuel subsidies for the richest 15% of households, and the government has raised power tariffs and introduced higher minimum wages. At the same time, motor insurance costs in Malaysia continue to rise as claims expenses increase, making it harder for drivers to manage yearly expenses. All of this makes budgeting for car ownership more challenging than ever.

The good news? PolicyStreet’s Drive+ membership is designed to ease the burden by combining cheaper road tax, flexible insurance payments, and practical perks — all in one place.

What Is Drive+ and Why It Matters

Drive+ is PolicyStreet’s car-owner membership program created to help Malaysians save money and reduce hassle when renewing car insurance and road tax online.

When renewing your car insurance with PolicyStreet, you can choose from three Drive+ membership tiers, starting from RM39.90:

• Drive+ Lite: Up to RM50 off road tax

• Drive+ Standard: Up to RM90 off road tax

• Drive+ Premium: Up to RM120 off road tax

Beyond road tax discounts, eligible Standard and Premium members enjoy renewal discounts via Atome or EPP, waived road tax processing fees, and access to exclusive partner vouchers. In short, Drive+ turns a routine chore into a smarter, more affordable car ownership experience.

Drive+ Membership Tiers and Bateriku Benefits

One standout benefit is the RM40 Bateriku voucher you receive with every Drive+ renewal. This voucher can be used for car battery replacements through Bateriku, Malaysia’s on-demand battery service.

How to redeem the Bateriku voucher

1. Open the Bateriku app (iOS/Android) or visit Bateriku’s website.

2. Register / log in with the same mobile number/email you used when you renewed with Drive+.

3. Choose the service: Buy new battery or Battery replacement and enter vehicle details (make, model, reg. no.).

4. At checkout, enter your Drive+ voucher code in the “Promo code” or “Voucher” field (or follow the voucher redemption instructions included in your Drive+ confirmation). If you received a voucher code by email, paste it in the promo field.

5. If trade-in is available and applicable, select the trade-in option so any trade-in rebate is applied in the booking flow (Bateriku sometimes shows trade-in as an automatic option during booking).

Confirm the booking and payment method. Present any digital voucher code or booking confirmation to the BHero upon service arrival if asked. If you have trouble, call Bateriku customer service at the number on their site.

This voucher is subject to specific terms. Please read the full T&Cs.
