No two drivers are the same, and as the insurance premium and terms are affected by the profile and driving experience of the driver, it is not possible to transfer the policy from one driver to another.
Depending on your vehicle type, specification and the terms & conditions, you can be charged multiple excesses based on the nature of the incident.
We offer 3 levels of insurance for your vehicle:
- Motor Value – Covers Third Party Liability
- Motor Smart – Comprehensive Cover for Loss or Damage to the Insured Vehicle including enhanced protection and Third Party Liability
- Motor Executive – Our highest level of coverage with higher limits and all optional covers are bundled within
You will need the following documents to apply for a car insurance under a company name:
- Trade License Copy
- Main Driver’s License
- Vehicle Registration Copy
- Tax Registration Number
The excess (deductible) is your contribution made at the time of non-recoverable claim(s) due to an accident.
This is the most basic cover and is compulsory as per the UAE law. Third-party liability covers you against:
- Death or bodily injury to any third party/person.
- Damages to third party property arising out of the use of your motor vehicle. More importantly, this policy does not cover any damage or loss to your own vehicle.
The sum insured is the maximum amount, excluding any excess amount, which the Insurance Company will pay in the event that your vehicle is a total loss.
Once your claim has been settled, a member of our team will call you to either collect your cheque or arrange a bank transfer. Please note the transfer will only be made to the vehicle’s registered owner.
If you are wishing to upgrade your car insurance from Third Party, this can be done as long as the vehicle is GCC standard & supported with a Comprehensive Test Certificate, which will then require approval.
If your car is new and out of the showroom, the purchase price of the vehicle will be considered as the Sum Insured. However, it is important to note, the value of the vehicle depreciates over time. So always calculate the Sum Insured based on the current market value of the vehicle.
The process time will vary and there is not set time however, once you make a claim, we always endeavor to turnaround your submission within one working day, provided that all the mandatory documents have been submitted.
We can provide you with valuable additional covers like Temporary Rent-A-Car Facility, Personal Accident Benefit and Territory extension to GCC countries.
If you have selected Agency Repairs coverage then your vehicle will be repaired at the vehicle’s authorised dealership. If you selected Non-Agency, we will select one of Our Approved Garages, all of which adhere to our strict quality controls. This also allows us to offer a 6-month guarantee on mechanical work and 12-month guarantee on body repairs and paint jobs.
A No Claims Discount (NCD) is the discount given on your premium based on the experience (i.e. number of years without claims) of the driver.
Comprehensive cover is available for vehicles up to the age of 7 years. Vehicles over 7 years need to be referred to our motor team who will review each case.
You can get agency repairs for up to two years from its first registration as new, and if you choose to extend it, you can do so for up to five more years, subject to an additional premium.
