Need Help! accident when using BlueSG car

[Themman]

Nah, say an excess of $2k. If the damage is $1.8k, only need to pay $1.8k.

If the damage is $20k, then just need to pay excess of $2k.

I don't know what term the company is using exactly but paying full excess for whatever damage is nonsense to me. It's good to read again, understand, and don't pay more than necessary.

My bad, i think you are right

 

[AlanTroll]

Don't know what bluesg thinking.
Offer them don't want to reply or answering me.
They just say this is t&c pay asap or they may take litigation against me.

So how you settle your 2K ? Can they accept installment at the end day ?

I saw a BlueSG speeding in the Tampines Hub carpark.

BlueSG cars are driven very fast as the electric motor can support very fast acceleration. Unfamiliar drivers will find it very exciting, while seasoned old birds know that it is a potential trap

 

[Hihi99991]

hi! i recently got into an accident with bluesg car as well, and I just reported the accident. Can i check how many months they took to get back to u? :/

 

[hmsweethm]

TS, you should bring this piece of news to the press.
This is daylight robbery.
Let the people know the obscene terms and condition by the Bluesg.

 

[lucienee]

Bro im in a similar situation as you. Any update on your case?

 

[armstrong]

acutally i kenna accident in july ,
victim send me lawyer letter to summon me to pay 10k in august wtf
september bluesg ask me to pay the excess of 2.2k and the rest will settle by their insurer
30 december victim send me second lawyer letter wtf , say not satsify with the compensation.
whatever i had closed case but then the lawyer really fishy. Why need to pay the victim when all been settled by each insurer then my mind was thinking maybe the victim didn't buy insurance for her car. is it my taichi to pay the excess on victim end ?

 

[CaptainTeo]

LOD can F care n toss in bin.
The other party wont be stupid enuff to sue bec its gonna cost many times more than repair with little chance to get back legal fees.

Anyway TnCs are in there, if a minor dent also need to pay full excess, then if you kena one, just take a hammer, or what, and keep trashing the car.

Excess is still the same. Mount kerb, scrape wall, bang walls, still same excess. Already need to pay, don't waste.

Young kids these days go tokyo drift on BlueSG.

 

[edwinttt1978]

All the drifts are not enough. BlueSG incurred net losses of $3.4 million in 2017, $7.3 million in 2018 and $9.3 million in 2019. Would 2020 have been a better year?

Electric car-sharing outfit BlueSG poised to be sold

SINGAPORE - Home-grown transport and engineering group Goldbell is in advanced talks to buy over an electric car-sharing outfit in Singapore.

The Straits Times understands that discussions for the takeover of BlueSG's operations have gone on for about a year, and an in- principle deal has been struck.

BlueSG is owned by a unit of French transportation giant Bolloré Group. It was launched in 2017 as the first electric car-sharing operation in Singapore. The company now runs a fleet of around 670 cars, with about 1,500 charging points across the island. It has around 80,000 subscribers.

The imminent sale to Goldbell - a 41-year-old commercial vehicle specialist which has branched out to on-demand bus services and car subscription schemes - comes three years after a similar car-sharing service the French group owned in Paris ceased in 2018.

Sources said the sale-purchase deal should be transacted at $20 million to $25 million - based on the scrap value of the battery-powered sub-compacts. It would allow Goldbell to continue running the car-sharing operations with BlueSG's current network of charging points.

The Straits Times understands that the protracted nature of the sale has to do with government grants which BlueSG has been given. BlueSG was not reachable for comment, while Goldbell declined to do so.

Latest information available from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority showed that BlueSG incurred net losses of $3.4 million in 2017, $7.3 million in 2018 and $9.3 million in 2019. Bolloré's car-sharing operations in Paris ended with losses despite hefty government subsidies.

Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) transport economist Walter Theseira said schemes such as BlueSG's face hurdles because "Singapore's public transport and private transport service options are just too good for car-sharing to make sense for many people".

"Most trips would be cheaper by taxi and private-hire car than by renting a car-sharing service and driving yourself, especially after parking charges, travel to the car-sharing parking location, and so on," he added.

Prof Theseira said: "Even in global cities where taxis are substantially more expensive and public transport is worse, it is hard to say that car-sharing has been a huge success," he said, noting that shared cars are "hardly the game-changer that people have initially talked about" in terms of replacing demand for private cars.

Prof Theseira said the BlueSG cars are also too small for some families, and they are not allowed to be used for private-hire purposes. These limit their appeal further.

But the economist who heads SUSS' Urban Transport Management Masters programme said BlueSG's charging network is viable. "It is a business model ahead of its time in Singapore," he said. "Unfortunately, the development of such networks is hamstrung by the chicken-and-egg problem - nobody living in HDB or condos will buy an EV without charging available at their home carpark, and nobody will build charging points without EV customers.

"The network has potential but its value is likely to be only realised a few years from now."

BlueSG's sale, if concluded, follows the exit of electric taxi operator HDT in November last year, and the demise of car-sharing firm Smove last June.
