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

- 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.
